Absolutely reliable. Components last forever.

By Rabbit (NC) on Saturday, February 02, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 105,750

Pros: "Reliable, comfy, low maintenance costs"

Cons: "Wind sensitive, see review"

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

"Never a reliability or maintenance issue. Still original brakes, exhaust, water pump, plugs, lamps. This car can be driven all day without fatigue. Quiet, calm, composed, comfy seats for smaller persons. Not "sporty." Steering is slightly vague on center as car has aged. Three issues: Very soft brake pedal which is disconcerting. Transmission from new does not always immediately engage from full stop or from a very slow speed. Buffeting and side wind sensitivity if tires all inflated equally. Side wind sensitivity & buffeting issue resolved by front tire pressure about 34 lbs, rear tires about 30 lbs. Brakes are adequate, but soft. Transmission cannot be resolved. Exterior finish always properly maintained, appears as new."

"It's been 10 years since brand new, about 77000 mi now, XLE, V6, never really had problems except wipers, tires, and until recent that I had to change the battery, other than that really it just doesn't cause problems at all, very reliable. I am planing to drive it another 10 years till the day it dies."

Best Car Ever Owned

By Fran (MS) on Sunday, December 30, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 150,000

Pros: "Comfortable even on very long drives"

Cons: "A little tight in the back seat for bigger people"

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

"I bought this car with 90,000 miles and have driven it for five years. It is without doubt the best car I have ever owned. Replaced O2 sensor one time. Routine maintenance will take this car many more years. A friend has 452,000 on her car exactly same year model and type. Services it once a month and no mech problems or oil leaks any where."
