I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR PERSONALLY SINCE 2004. I PURCHASED IT IN OHIO WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I'M A 61 YEAR OLD PHYSICIAN AND THE CAR SERVED SEVERAL PURPOSES. IT GETS OVER 25 MPG, ITS NOT A HIGH THEFT CAR(BIG ADVANTAGE IN DETROIT) AND ITS AS MUCH FUN TO DRIVE AS ANY HIGH DOLLAR SPORTS CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. PLUS, AND ADDED ADVANTAGE IS I FIT IN THE CAR COMFORTABLY AT 6'7', 265. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN HARD, BUT WELL MAINTAINED WITH ALL OF THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MOBIL ONE CHANGES AT 3K. THE CAR HANDLES GREAT IN THE SNOW WITH THE SNOW TIRES THAT ARE INCLUDED. I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR TODAY TO CALIFORNIA WITH NO WORRY. THE ONLY REASON THAT I'M SELLING IS MY WIFE BOUGHT ME A NEW GTI. THE BAD POINTS ARE SOME WEAR ON THE BOLSTER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I BOUGHT NEW FOAM AND WAS PLANNING TO REPAIR THAT. IT HAS THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FROM ONE OF THE O2 SENSORS. I HAD ONE REPLACED,,,,AND IT WAS THE WRONG ONE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO LEAVE IT, ALONG WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT WHICH THEY SAY IS A GIVEN TO HAPPEN WITH THESE CARS. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM IS A DENT ON THE RIGHT ROCKER FROM ME TURNING INTO A SIGN SUPPORT IN A BANK PARKING LOT COVERED BY SNOW. TIRES ARE MICHELIN MXM4s, SNOW TIRES ARE FIRESTONE. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME
