Hated the ride quality to begin with, then the autobelt on the driver's side sailed in open position a little before 50K. My own timing belt went at about 70-ish too. The piece de resistance, the radiator fan assembly disintegrated shy of 90K, tearing up the radiator and a host of other things here and there.

Had it towed home. I figured to have it fixed was a complete waste of time and money (could not see it have any serious value as a trade in, even if I had the damage repaired), so called an organization that takes donated cars, working or not, within a week. I was so willing to get rid of it, that it actually brought a smile to my face as it vanished out of my life.
