"Good traveling car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The driver side seat moves. They said the track has wore out and will be $300 or so to fix. The gasket on the lower intake manifold blew and leaked engine coolant into the oil (We caught it early enough that it didn't harm the engine). That was about $600 to fix. Window motors are going out. Paint on the spoiler is faded really bad. Had to replace alternator.

General comments?

We have been really happy with this car. It gets great gas mileage. It's fast. Gets great acceleration. Great interstate driving car. We have had problems with the vehicle, but I have never had a vehicle that I didn't have problems with. We also got the car for cheap with a low monthly payment.

Correction: The V6 engine in these is a 3.1 litre, not 2.1.
