 I bought this car as it seemed to present a good value for money.  I liked its V6 performance, interior design and very nice exterior.  Considering how hard I drive this car, I'm content with its reliability so far, after 23k miles.  A real problem surfaced at around 20k miles, when I noticed brake noise.  I thought it was the wear indicator on the brake pads, but as it turned out it was my rotors.  Initially I got pretty upset at the dealership as they suggested rotor replacements - thought they were trying to milk me - but as it turned out, it's a common issue with the 2007 model.  Yes, I too live in the New England area and see a lot of road salt.  You get what you pay for - car was cheap
