General comments?

Amazing car. The most reliable car ever.

The alternator and water bump both went while the car was on the driveway. The rear shocks could be considered maintenance items. I get 30 MPG!!!

This is amazing for the year. This car is built like a tank and just as slow Handles beautifully in the snow and ice on all season tires. Never got stuck. Doesn't burn or leak oil.

They say it will go at least 500,000 Miles before any major engine work would be due. Most go twice that unless they rust away. If this one got ruined I'd look for another.

I agree! I have one with 210K miles and is beautifully working like a tank. Never breaks! I love this car, won't sale for anything.
