The one really big problem I have been having with the car is the fact that the spoiler has nearly rusted through the trunk. It must be from the ten years the car has been out in the elements, but nonetheless, it has been a problem, I tried to fix it with some body kit repair items from auto zone, but it needs a bit more than elbow grease. Fixing that may be a slightly expensive endavor. Also the sunroof vent clip snapped and now the sunroof squeals. There is also a problem with the headgaskets, I am leaking oil like a mug, and that caused my belts to squeal when I turned my car on, that will run me about 300 bucks to fix.
I have liked it, its fun to drive, it sits low to the ground, its also a fun fast car. Another thing that makes it appealing is the fact that I am one of the only people in town to have one, so it is unique. Besides my problems I've loved it, and I'm in the marked right now looking for another one preferably one without rust one the spoiler, I've loved it.
You said that your belts squeal when starting I have the same problems and there is no way that will run you 300 because all you need to do is either tighten up your belts, get new belts or put belt dressing on your belts that should take care of the problem.
