Got 230000 miles out of my Betty Sue, it was a thrill when it first came out, taught me the meaning of 'joy ride'.  If you take care of it, it should last you a long time, I did regular maintenace, using full synth oil three times a year and premium fuel.  I only put on minor modifications like a K&N air filter and Blitz blow off value.  There was turbo lag I noticed during it's latter years.  The last three years I noticed the panelling falling apart and other interior items seemed to be made of cheap material. The AWD was nice in the winter and rain.  Overall it was a fun car to drive and had some good times with it. Always a crowd pleaser. I will miss it.

Pros — Aggressive styling, fun ride, good times, fast, AWD
Cons — Quality of interior parts not very good, fuel injector issues,
