This has been my wifes car for 5 years, we bought it with 70,000miles now has 140,000 miles.
Good Points
Car still feels like a quality car
It doesn't look ten years old
Its very reliable
The V6 sounds nice when abused
Bad Points
Fuel consumption from the computer averages out at 28.5mpg (not bad when you consider the size of the engine)
Dash electrics have slowly gone wrong, but we are not fixing them, Air Light came on a few years ago (common fault) sensor problem. When we bought it 5 years ago, you could see that there was a small oil leak somewhere, but as long as you fill it up when the car tells you to there isnt a problem.
Exterior door trim started coming off - Grab your Silicone and squirt some in and thats fixed.
All in all a quality car that will do 300,000 miles easily - cheap now also.
