Transmission replaced at about 123500 miles.
Battery went at just under 124000 miles.
Rear brake pads worn shortly after purchase, needed to be replaced.
Suspension is a little worn, but doesn't need replacing.
Tail light bulbs seem to burn out fairly quickly.
Radiator needed replacing after hitting a spare tire lying in the middle of the highway.
H-frame, some elements of alignment needed replacing after being hit by a livery cab driver.
Handling is fairly responsive, the speed-sensitive steering provides definite handling improvement.
Engine is very strong, especially considering the miles. It has good power and acceleration.
The interior is very comfortable, with nice seats and high quality materials. The cabin is very roomy.
This car handles especially well on the highways during long-distance cruising. It's a great long-trip car.
Except for getting broad-sided by a livery cab, which caused some expensive damage, the car has been pretty reliable. The transmission was the only major mechanical failure. However, if things go wrong, the car is fairly expensive to fix.
So far, it's handled every road situation I've been in quite admirably. This thing feels like it drives itself.
It chugs gas at a pretty good rate. Average of about 15-18 mpg depending on driving.
Overall, it's a good deal for a 10-year-old car. If you can get a good price on one without any serious mechanical issues, I would suggest it.
