I replace the front brake pads at 80,000.
That is it so far. And I beat this car every time I drive it (people ask me all the time "aren't you worried you are going to break something?" I just say NO).
Oh, I do dislike the stock Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires, they are fine new, but they did not wear well and I got bubbles in them that made the car shake at speed.
I now have Kumho 712 tires, very happy with these!
This thing is FAST! I actually took it drag racing with my friends and after some practice I ran a 15.7 sec. at 86.9mph! That is a second faster than almost any Honda at the track that day!
Also with the above mentioned tires this car handles very well!
I have gotten 38mpg without trying on long trips with four people in the car and the air on. I average 32 with some city driving.
Did I mention this car is cheap to buy?
It is the perfect car commuting.
15.7, y does everybody exaggerate on here.
I doubt he is exaggerating. My 2 door 1999 escort manual transmission is surprisingly fast as well.
