"It's a good car overall, but it has some design issues"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

One of the valves went out at 95,000 miles; it was expensive to replace. This was probably due to the way I drive.

The car pulls to the right, but this is probably due to abuse.

General comments?

This car is very reliable. It will take some abuse.

The gas mileage is great, I usually get 28-30 mpg highway.

However, this car has one of the most poorly designed interiors I have ever seen; it is cramped and uncomfortable.

Maintainance is unreasonably hard, especially if you want to replace the spark plugs.

The spark plugs were easy on my '96 acheiva (3100 V6). the front 3 were easy and the back 3 were easy to get to if you take the coil pack off.
