Default just some questions...

hi i was lookin at picking up a 03 touring model with 30k. what are some things that i should look for? what are the common things that go wrong with this car? should i keep looking for a lower mileage one? what is the estimated mpg that u guys get? your help is appreciated.
thanks!

with 03, there is feathering issue. Low milage is a good idea. mpg should be in the 18 to 20

Not much time left on the factory warranty. Unless you're planning on doing mods, I'd get an '04 or newer.

I have an 03 performance with no problems. I have 26K on it, bought it with 16K on it after first owner. I average about 25 miles per gallon but I only drive it hard about once a week (weekend curvy road fun, ). Good luck on the purchase!
