"I love driving this car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission was started slipping at 193000 miles cost $1000 to replace.

Engine was knocking at 202000 replaced with wrecking yard engine $200.

Front brakes replaced.

Rear struts replaced.

General comments?

I think that the former owner treated the car poorly. I have seen other 3.8L engines go many more miles.

This is by far the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

It has all the options including a sunroof.

I love cruising the highway with the car, but it lacks passing power over 60 mph.

Lacks passing power?

You must have issues with your transmission, or drivetrain. This vehicle will easily do 120mph!

I have to agree with the guy who wrote the last letter... Unless there are mechanical problems, the 3.8 liter is generally known to run great, and run well up over 250,000 miles.
