I love this car but i hate a few things about it.I bought this car because I like the looks and I searched for one with lower miles so I would not have to work on it, but thats not goin to happen. So I will start with the the things I love about it.
Awesome style
Fantastic color (white gold)
Tuff sounding motor with the magnaflows
Heads up display
Handles good for a big car
Dual seat controls
Good trunk space
Decent get up
Nice brakes
THINGS I HATE
Fuel gauge is not consistent
Valve cover gasket leaks
Low engine coolant light is always on
Seats are flat as a board
Fog lights always going out
Rear seat does not fold down
Not enuf rear leg room for such a big car
Cheap ceiling not supported very well
Outdated interior

Massive repair bills from the dealer because you
can't work on a Northstar yourself
in the HATE column.

Re: Love Hate Relationship
I hope that does not happen but I can see why they discontinued this car. I guess they could not get all the bugs worked out. We recently sold my wife's 2005 Mazda 6 with 135000 miles on it. We purchased it new and the only time it was ever in the shop was for standard maintenance. Sucks when you buy American and you don't get a quality product.
I'm also a Missouri resident, what county do you live in.
