 I wrote a pretty unfavorable review over a year ago... and still have very mixed feelings about this car.  It continues to be fun to drive, and fits my driving profile really well... a good high speed performer on the highway and a great city car too.     Reasonable comfort and cargo carrying flexibility.    But, maintenance costs are high... in the past year, I've done a preventative replacement of the timing chain and tensioner, replaced fuel injectors, had carbon cleaned out of the engine, replaced leaking rear oil seal, re-worked the brakes and fixed some minor things.      This totaled about $5,000. on top of earlier water pump, cooling fans, intake manifold, and more.      I love to put at least 150,000 miles on my cars, and I still hope to reach this goal... but I'm also very close to giving up on this car.  My next one will likely be a Toyota, Subaru, or maybe a Volvo... based on much better reliability experience with these brands.
