160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD
| 35500 mi | Tachometer was hanging up. I removed the instrument cluster (very easy on this car), removed back cover, removed tach & speedo motor covers, cleaned & lightly lubed rotor & gears, reassembled, & tested. Has worked perfectly since the repair. |

| 109000 mi | Recall was performed to replace door latches. |
| 78000 mi | Wheel out of balance. Vibration still exists in the car. Still solving problem. Next step is investigating transmission. |
| 37000 mi | Window Washer Fluid container cracked. Presumably from heat fluxuation. |
| 13700 mi | Wheel constantly failed to hold air. I believe the valve stem or seating of the tire was the issue. The slow leak was very annoying, finally after a couple of weeks, the dealer took the tire off, replaced the valve stem & remounted tire |
| 5000 mi | One of the lights within the headlight assembly came loose and was reseated. |
| 7000 mi | Windshield wipers became misaligned. Driver's side wiper did not completely wipe its field of view, and the passenger side wiper was smacking into the moulding on the side of the windshield. Also, wipers were hitting each other on return. |

| 20000 mi | Attachment bracket on rear deck lid broke and had to be replaced. |
| 47000 mi | Driver's door latch not working properly. Door was not latching and staying closed. It could swing open freely. Was eventually repaired when parts arrived weeks later. |
| 64700 mi | Driver's side rear door latch failed. I brought my vehicle in for repair as well as to perform the recall on the remaining door latches. |
