Since I got the car at 153,000 miles (I got it from a lady who babied it) :
Fuel tank was replaced at 169,000 miles... it leaked and that was no good.
Cruise control stopped working at about 172,000 miles... more of an inconvenience really, I haven't even bothered to fix it. I think a simple fuse would do the trick.
Water pump went at 179,000 miles.
Alternator went at 186,000 miles.
This car is very reliable and the repair costs have been minimal! :)
This car does what I do most, cruising down the highway, very well. In fact, sometimes it does this a little too well, at those times when I find myself going 75mph. It has enough power where it's easy to get carried away!
Driving down the highway I also get a great ride and great gas mileage as well! I'm a student and this was my first car and I plan to drive it for many years to come, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good solid vehicle for not a lot of money. I don't see any need to buy a fancy new car when you have Luminas around.
If I could have one thing, though, it would be power windows... I believe the Euro package has this standard.
You're lucky to have an earlier one, the next generation that followed it isn't very sporty at all and most of the style is lost to aerodynamics.
