    -well, if you want to get technical, the interior plastics seem to scratch just by looking at them wrong, and the Spectra Blue is a chip/dirt magnet!

    42,000 miles have changed oil every 5,000 using synthetic and keeping tires over inflated just a bit. Never been back to the dealer for ANY issues. Have averaged 51 MPG over two years commuting to Boston and back. Round trip = 65 miles. Mileage seems to have increased a bit recently and since April we are averaging 53 MPG. beingin the northeast it does drop in colder months to about 49MPG. LOVE IT!!

    changed the oil 3 times. wash it occassionally. sometimes remember to check tire pressure. every 3 months or so i remember to clean the cabin air filter.

    hm, a friend of mine managed to hit the outside mirror with the door of her suv and snap the mirror off. high wind caught her door, slammed it open, impacting my mirror. was a nusiance waiting on an insurance check. local dealer fixed it up in less than 2 hours, even washed and waxed it for me.

    other than that, less filling, runs great. just back from a 1100 mile trip. cool car.

    Problems: The original tires are starting to wear out, might need to change them in the next 5000 to 10000 miles.

    78,000 miles on your Integritys and they are good for another 5-10,000! I'm very impressed! That must be a record.
