"Its been a good car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've replaced the ABS/wheel hub assembly every 60,000 miles on the left and once at 180,000 on the right.

Also, I've replaced the front brakes every 30-40,000 Miles. I used the upgraded rotors and brakes. I've also replaced the rear brakes once at 185,000 Miles.

The Fuel Filter was replaced at around 175,000 miles.

The car has had regular oil changes and two tuneups.

General comments?

The 5 speed manual transmission is original and still works exceptionally. The car is fun to drive and is very quick. I get between 28 and 32 miles to the gallon depending on the season. I've never had a car go this long and look great and perform. I plan on trying to hit 300,000 or more.

The car has been reliable for me. I know I would've spent way more than the $15,000 I spent for it if I had traded it in or had an alternative. Cars need to be repaired. The car feels better then the plastic feeling in many of the foreign versions.
