I've had this car for about a year and a half and put roughly 20k miles on it so far. It is one of the best cars I've owned. I've read many bad reviews on the car and it's series and it was listed in consumer reports cars to avoid. Mine is slightly rare in that it is the GLS, leather, premium sound, moon roof, seat warmers, etc. but it's manual transmission. The only problem I've had with this car was in winter time in Washington state. The rain gutters clogged up and caused water to get into the car. I was easily able to treat the issue and it was a few months before it happened again. I may be annoyed with this issue every few months but now I'm living in southern California and I park my car in a garage. Issue avoided. The car is responsive and handles well. Plenty of trunk space. I get complements on it all the time. People say it's a cute little car or that it just looks good. People who sit in it are usually impressed with the look and feel, especially at night. Though the back seat doesn't have much leg room for a 4 door. The cup holders block radio control and the readout. However, there are buttons on the steering wheel so it's a minor issue.

The car just keeps on going.. I have had it for about 8 months now and am nearly 50+ thousand miles deep. 2002 with 168,000 miles. I run synthetic oil every 5,000 and it has to be the most reliable car I have ever owned. Occasionally the coilpacks go out (every 30,000 or so) but, they are easy to swap and not too expensive and the car runs until they arrive. I drive 80+ everywhere I go and with the original motor, turbo, and all original drive-train Im amazed that it still responds instantly to my demands. Luckily my car was taken care of and I think she will go 300K+ before she gets a swap.
