This model is a five-speed manual. It was ok to drive, but everything else with the car fell apart over the three years I have owned it. It is a shiny silver color, and that might be the best thing about it. The first thing to go was the factory stereo that came with it, and after looking up possible fixes, it became clear there was a fault with it. The battery had died, and many have said this is what kills the stereo. It was nice while it lasted, about a year. The next was the oil check hose that holds the dipstick. It shattered when I went to check the oil before an important meeting. Next, the radiator blew, and being a foreign car, the parts are all super expensive as well as the labor. Next, the coil packs started to miss fire, and so at another poor time comes a huge bill and more trouble. Lastly, the return hose for the power steering on the rack and pinion has rusted through that suspiciously happened the moment I left Good Year after an oil change. They wanted over two thousand dollars to fix it, so now it sits in the front yard as a useless piece of junk.
