"This is my second one, and I'd buy another"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Driver's side window is really stiff.

Leaking oil, but not enough to worry.

Bright light indicator doesn't work.

Speedometer and Odometer don't work sometimes.

Right now it is overheating and not blowing any warm air. Had the thermostat, rad cap and water pump replaced. Still isn't working.

Little rust around the gas cap and by the wheel wells.

General comments?

Very comfortable ride. Great interior.

Very nice sound system for factory.

Drives really nice, especially on the hi-way. Also good on gravel roads.

Always has started for me, even in our -40 C weather.

Handles well, good power for a 4 cylinder.

Cheap to fix.

Over average on fuel, but large tank.

If you're still having overheating problems even after replacing the thermostat and other stuff, then your head gasket may be leaking. To confirm this, drive the car for about fifteen minutes. Then park it. Don't shut the engine off. Open the hood and go to the overflow bottle. Open it and take a peak at the fluid in there. If you see some bubbles, then your head gasket is likely on its way out. This is a fairly common problem, by the way, and many people are unaware of it.
