"The complete hybrid of luxury/sport"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My check engine light would not shut off after I placed an after-market exhaust on the car.

General comments?

A very overlooked car. It's that simple. Performance wise, it's a bigger version of the VR6 GTI/Jetta weighing only 200lbs more. Luxury wise, it's not much different than my Aunt's Mercedes Benz C-Class. The only bad point is the economy, maybe its because I have an intake, a chip, and an exhaust, but if you want economy, you might as well go out and buy a Honda.

If you buy one with about 100K it will already have had all of it's bugs worked out of it. At about 80K it will need an O2 sensor which will illuminate the check engine light.
