"I LOVE this car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to replace the transmission at about 150,000 miles.

Replaced one O2 Sensor.

Replaced one pulley.

CD player in Bose System stopped working last week!

General comments?

The performance of the car is great.

It handles well for the tires it comes with.

Very quiet car. Great for long distance trips, but seats take a little getting used to, even now.

Other than the transmission, no reliability issues.

My own has a lot of problems except that my exhaust pipe keeps on breaking loose and scrapeing the floor.

I don't expect you to come back to find this and reply to it, but I am interested to know how often you changed the transmission gear oil in the car, since it failed at 150k miles. That's still respectable that it lasted that long, especially since the 4th generation trannies were known for problems. I just changed out my manual gear oil at 73k miles (don't know if it was changed before I bought my 98 GXE with 66k miles) with AMSOIL synthetic gear oil, and the car shifts much more smoothly and power delivery seems more direct.
