"I love this car!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A/C went out at 70,000 miles.

Alternator went out at 98,000 miles.

Head gasket, timing belt and various valves blew at 100,000 miles.

Now needs new battery and/or battery cable.

General comments?

I have completely enjoyed this car during the three years I've had it.

My only complaint is that parts for this car tend to be quite a bit more expensive than for other automobiles.

I've put so many miles on it in such a short time that I can't really complain when it needs a new part. It handles well. I've noticed that it idles differently than my previous vehicles; it sounds like it is about to die, but never does.

Right now I need to replace the battery cable, but I don't know where the starter relay is. Can anyone help me with this?

My grandmother bought the car new and give it to me 7 years later, and I wrecked it. Fixed it to where I could drive it, and it has never had anything go wrong.
