For the most part, a reliable car for 9 years. The random acceleration problem was a scary one though.

Happened on the way to work, turned around to take it back to our dealer, and completely burned through the brakes to get it there. Had to stand on brakes to keep it from accelerating. diagnosis took a few hours and $200 bucks, with final choice of new brain box (computer) $1200 w/1 yr warranty or used brain box for $400 no guarantee.
