37,000 miles later....

Post by michaelj1978 »

And I'm still lovin it.05 base. MANUAL!! Monotone package, steel wheels. No power windows/locks, though it does have power mirrors. Purchased at 44K from a dealer who bought from an older man (actually contacted him to confirm). Meticulous one owner records. Replaced stock tires at 50K with Michelin Hydroedge. I wanted the no power anything and manual cause I'm driving this car forever. Love the fold down seats. Love how comfortable the seats are and are easy to clean. Installed cruise control, which helps on my 50mile commute to and from work. Michelins look like they are new but have 30+k miles on them. They are not perfect in the snow or rain but as long as I can get another 50K out of them no complaints. Car is amazing, oil and gas, oil and gas. Should have it paid off in the next year (hate financing but had no other option). Just wanted to brag on how proud I am with this little car. Hauls me, my son, dog, and everything else I need. Hit 35mpg on a recent road trip too!Only thing I need is a new left front fog light. A rock got the best of mine.Typically after 20K in the same car I get tired of it. I'm peeking out the curtains looking at mine now and can't wait to drive it to work in the morning.
