 I bought my 3s new in 2006 and am very happy with the car.  It looks great inside and out.  It also gets pretty good gas mileage.  I get about 32mpg on the highway and about 28mpg with all around driving.  The access to the trunk is a little small so I can't fit things like my guitar amp in there but that's not a big deal.  Tires lasted as expected and wore out around 42000 or so.  I changed from the Goodyear Eagle RSA to Yokohama S.Drive.  The new tires cost less and grip the road even better than the original tires.  The seats are very comfortable especially on long trips.  It's a great car and all for less than $20k brand new.  I did add a cold air intake and catback to the car too.
