"I can`t afford to drive anything else"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The rear brake pads needed to be changed.

The automatic transmission was slipping so I replaced it with a manual transmission (big difference in performance and economy).

Leak in the intercooler hoses causing rough running.

General comments?

This car is fast, safe, comfortable and fun to drive. Changing to a manual transmission ($300.00 in used parts, 6 hours labour) has changed the car for the better. With the manual transmission I get 35 miles per gallon and 0-60 acceleration under 7 seconds, all in a comfortable and roomy wagon.

Parts are cheaper from the dealer than after-market, but labour is best left to the corner garage. This is a very easy car to work on.
