I have never had any trouble with it and I am hoping it will become one of the 71/2% 'Scorts which have gone over 300,000 miles. The gas mileage is very good. I get 40 mpg in town with the AC on and 46 mpg on the highway. The only reason it is this good is that I drive like an old man and rarely go over 50 mph. I'm probably a traffic hazard.

I dont know how you get that kind of mileage maybe its the gas in your area but thats great.
