"Handles great, but isn't reliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator at 112000 miles.

Brakes twice once at 113000 and one at 113500.

Transmission at 120000.

Exhaust at 121000.

Rarely starts and if does won't run for long.

Battery at 125000.

Interior fell apart at every mile.

Wouldn't start leaving the lot due to no fuel.

Then had to be towed home from middle of intersection right after we bought it on the way home from the lot. due too bad spark plugs.

General comments?

Very comfortable car, but the only time I'm in the seat its because the car broke down on a trip.

Handles very well and turns on a dime.

The only big problem is reliability.

I wouldn't trust the car as far as I can"push" it.

- Well, it had 111,000 miles on it when you bought it. Not exactly a new car!

To the one who wrote the previous comment: I was not the one who wrote the review on the car.

Not all of us, like me, can afford to buy a new car so we must buy one used.

All of my cars have had over 100K on them, some with over 200K.

Most of them have been very good with very few problems.

Does not have to be new to be dependable!

Obviously it was a USED car. It seems as though the owner didn't have it checked by a mechanic.

In addition, the Alternator going at 112000 Miles and a battery? Common.

Plus 120000 for an exhaust system. That is great!!! My Mazda needed a new exhaust at 80000 Kilometers... That cost over $1000!

A tranny at 120000. Not bad, but did the original owner change the fluid???
