"Well built"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing major, although I have spent nearly $5,000.00 in repairs and maintenance since I bought this car.

When I first purchased this car I had to do the following repairs:

Brakes - front and rear.

Rear struts.

Tires.

Power steering pressure return line.

Gas Tank.

Repaired minor rust.

Tie-rods.

Right Ball joint.

Alternator.

Battery.

The only thing that annoys me about this car is that if it rains heavily, water will start draining through the rear courtesy lights when I start driving.

General comments?

This car has been very good to me and my family, we've never been left stranded anywhere and its been really reliable.

It has quick acceleration, it can outrun any 6cly camaro or firebird anyday.

Update: I am the original reviewer of this post.

The car now has 206,000KM. Over the last several years, I have been experiencing problems with the drivers window when it is cool or cold outside. The window will go down, but it will take 5 minutes to coax it back up. I am thinking of replacing the window motor. Any ideas?

2006-2009: I've replaced the rear bushings, front brake pads, rear drums, a right brake cylinder, left wheel bearing (twice), and recently need to replace the thermostat, I don't get enough heat in the cold winter months. It's been this way for years.

I just unseized the two rear doors. They apparently seized due to them not being used.

My trunk has spots where the clear coat used to be, now it looks like snow flakes. I am wondering if I could just touch it up by using a can of clear coat spray paint?
