Brakes and struts needed replacing when the car was purchased in February 2002.
Stock muffler fell off the car in June 2002.
Heat doesn't work well.
Driver's seat (interior is leather) has rip in the center of the back and wear on the side panels. Passenger side has wear on the side panels. Backseat has small tearing near the back windshield.
The car overheats.
Left signal doesn't work when the brakes are applied.
Replacement parts can be hard to locate and expensive.
Quick, rare, and fun car to drive.
Overall I am extremely satisfied with this car.
I also had the tail light problem and I found out that is a short in the brake light harness.. if you wiggle it around or re-do the harness it should work again.. me I just wiggled it around until it started working.. and it hasn't failed yet after 3 months... hope that works for you.
