"Mediocre"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Weird problem with the steering at about 50k miles.

Computer problems that made it fail smog about 100k miles.

Brake problems.

Fuel pump.

Antenna motor.

Several other things I can't remember.

General comments?

Mediocre at best as far as reliability. Repairs are fairly expensive.

It's slow, but handles well. I like driving it, though it's nothing great.

Visibility isn't very good. The thick posts between the windows might help the car hold a truck on the roof, but they might keep you from seeing a truck on the road.

You still kept this awful car for 11 years now, and 160000 miles... is it as bad as all that???
