I can't imagine a much better car...

I bought the car from a friend who needed to get a fair price for cash. The interior had held up so perfectly that I felt I could absorb a few of the "expensive repairs and, at the very least, feel I still got a good deal. When I heard the car originally cost upwards of 30K 10 years ago, I expected perhaps a bit more -- at first. Then, after driving 3500 miles within two weeks, I realized it might be the most driver-friendly car I have ever spent time in. I love the way it holds the road, and the way it seems to blend a tad of American softness with the overall accuracy in handling that is more consistent with Euro cars. In addition, I am so tired of seeing Accords, Camries, Sonatas, and Maximas (and their luxury cousins that look about the same) that I have become even more happy over time. The car turns heads, runs great, and over the course of 10 years has needed only a water pump and a window regulator. I know this for a fact, as I am friends with the original owner, and have known him for longer than he has had the car. I am thinking about keeping this car forever. BTW, I have owned alot of cars!
