We have had this car for 8 years now. My brother bought in while he was in college. When he had it he got hit in the passenger side. It has 249,000 plus miles. She still gets 30 miles to the gallon. She shakes when you reach 70 miles per hour. Leaks no oil. Original transmission, but it slips. I would drive it anywhere in the United States. It really shows that if you treat them right they will do the same.
Yes, a surprisingly reliable car. Mine died at 224,000+ miles, which is still not bad at all. And it did get very good gas mileage to the end (30 highway as you stated). Quite comfortable too. I sort of miss it. The only problem was the paint was terrible. Started chipping and pealing on the hood and top and came to look very ugly after a while, but it was cheap and reliable transportation, which is what I really cared about.
