I own this car - My approximate mileage is 211,000

Pros: "Cool look, strong motor"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

Good car

By Xan (Southern CA) on Saturday, April 09, 2011

"I've had this car about a year. It's had a few of minor problems, but what 16 y/o car doesn't? It has a very smooth ride, and it's comfortable to be in. I like the styling very much; it looks a bit like a BMW 5-series from the front, and also look cool from the back. All-and-all I think this car has excellent value; the biggest drawback is probably the difficulty of finding parts. Overall rating:4.5 stars"

"Best vehicle that I ever owned. I know that I should trade it, but will most likely keep it in the family till it dies or i die."

Biggest nightmare

By jessy (washington) on Wednesday, August 26, 2009

"I have never had to replace so many things on one car in my life its an oil leaker, the starter/alt/battery have all died, the electrical never works like the door locks and back hatch or the key on/off headlights or the power windows there tricky to get to work., and the factory alarm is a hit or miss feature as well, not to mention the doors will freeze in the winter along with the locks, no reasonable explanation for it either."

Lucky Find

By dashleyb (Bartlesville,OK) on Sunday, August 02, 2009

"Only had the '94 ES sedan for two months,but I am so impressed with it,I can't tell you. To start with,it has almost 200k on it and I only paid $500 for it. The alternator is bad and costs $300 to replace(includes labor).so it's sort of an $800 car. Everything is great about it so far. It runs,drives, and handles like a sports car. The only complaints I have are, the paint job has gone no wax, the sun roof motor is out (easily replaced,found one in a scrap yard for $50), and the back seat doesn't have room for an elf. I'll see just how mine matches up with all the others I read about here. It really was a lucky find!"
