 SE sport V6 with 5 spd transmission is 
an excellent drive for the price. 
Interior features have drove me nuts.  
Dashboard peeled and replaced twice, 
endless wind noise and continual 
rattles in the dash board.  The 
original tires were Firestone Firehawks 
and were worthless on anything other 
than dry pavement.  Replaced at 30k 
with Bridgestone Portenza's and 
significantly improved control and 
ride.  I've enjoyed the car, but next 
time will spend the extra bucks for a 
higher class car with better fit and 
finish.  Also, don't have any idea what 
the engineers were thinking about with 
the cup holders.
