In 1998, we had to replace a coil inside the engine that was not making contact so the car would not start.
Early in 2004, the belts started to squeal, but were replaced by mechanic.
Early in 2004, "Check Engine" light came on and stayed on. Will be taking to mechanic in a couple of weeks.
When we bought this car in 1996, it had approximately 91,000 miles on it.
We have had it for a little over 8 years and except for a few minor problems, we have had very little problems with it and it now has around 187,000 miles on it.
In 2002, we had it painted since the light blue paint was starting to flake.
This little car has run very well for the past 8 years. It was purchased in 1996. Unfortunately, this past weekend we were involved in an accident (no fault of the car) and the insurance company will total the car. But while we had it, it was a wonderful little car.
