No glove box!!!???
65,000 miles... hard time opening doors... interior door handles pop/broke...high priced replacement parts... little things here and there, but when it's running well and I'm driving it...there's nothing better!
I had the same problem with the door handles not opening and having to open the door from the inside or just stop using that door. The passenger rear window stopped working and we had to have it fixed three times so we just stopped caring. Also the front brakes with start to smell after long road trips, but with 30 mpg and nice seats I learned to live with everything else.
It took me a long time to accept the fact that there is no glove box. I actually didn't believe it was true until I saw it written on this site. Other than that I'm happy.
