Underpowered Beauty (2.0l) — Bought this car almost brand new in '99 and owned it for three years. I bought it for the design and hadn't even test driven it. What a sore mistake. I bought the 4 cylinder 2.0L which gave (if I remember correctly) around 140hp!!! The V6 sounded much better and had 'more' power (still not enough under 200hp!) Too bad because, other than that, the leather was beautiful, finish was ok (although they still used a lot of cheap plastic back then). Stroke of back luck. I don't know but mine was unreliable as crap and I had issue after issue.
