"The best daily driver on the market"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only problems are the result of a collision (van went through a light and hit the passenger rear quarter two years ago) that almost totaled the car. (Rear clip replacement, over four grand.)

The trunk now leaks in heavy rain - or the car wash.

The engine was slow to begin with (if it weren't, I wouldn't have been hit!) but is now lethargic.

A/C fills the car with a musty odor, and barely cools the interior.

General comments?

Three problems:

1: Interior lighting isn't good -- one dome light that isn't aimed toward the front seats.

2: Car fogs up despite defroster being on highest setting.

3: The four-cylinder is a slug.

Otherwise, the car is solidly built and more reliable than any other vehicle I've ever seen. I have never been stranded from mechanical problems in this car (even after the accident, it ran just fine.) I really think I'll be driving this car in five years. (Unless some other idiot hits me. My insurance really wanted to total the car out for some strange reason.)

We had the same problem with the defroster. If you move the air selector switch so that air is not being recycled, this problem isn't nearly as bad.
