It handled like s**t, but man, it tore ass in a straight line. Used to love ripping those rice beotches a new one when they tried to pass on the right at the lights when it went from 2 lanes to one lane.

Other than a heater line that chafed on the exhaust (fixed under warranty), it was 6 years old and had 245,000 km before I had the first real problem, the A/C died in July and my wife was 8 months pregnant, so we traded it in for $1500. Not bad since I bought it for $14G fully loaded (A Plan).

In retrospect, I wish I had spent the $500 got the fixed. It would have made a great winter beater. If you weren't on the throttle all the time it got 600km to a tank.

Amen, those v6's tear new ones in alot of cars. It may be just a freakin tempo but they can freakin move. My buddy told me all about his kill stories in his v6 5 speed. Civic's to celica's,focus's to camry's and evetything in between. He even gave a friend with an old mustang a run for his money. B). he has the car for sale and it has an exhaust,intake and other things done to it and hope to buy it next year :D
