I own this car - My approximate mileage is 200,000

Pros: "super reliable, easy to maintain, safe, good mpg"

Cons: "wish there was more power"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"This car is very reliable. I'm almost at 210k miles and its still running like its new. Since I bought it, the only thing that I've needed to fix (other than regular oil changes and general TLC) is the muffler started getting some rust holes (~180k miles--easily fixed with a good weld job) and the heat shield was coming loose and making a "clanging" sound (~195k miles--again, easily fixed with a good weld). Theres just too many good things to say about this vehicle. Its safe, reliable, mpg is great considering it was made in 2002. Its quite comfy too! Its AWD so getting through snow/ice is no problem either (and I live in Vermont so believe me, i know all about that)!"
