Hi there,
I'm not aware of any negatives with a vehicle like this. They seem to be a pretty reliable choice even as they age past 10 years where typically cars tend to start costing more to maintain. The transmission looks to be a standard 5 speed sports automatic which is good. I would just check if the car has a cambelt and ask if or when it was changed.

Hi. Some people says air-conditioning is not powerful and that year car has grinding noise when starting. You can feel vibration through seats to steering wheel when engine is ideal.

Hi there,
These types of things can happen to any vehicle as it ages and would be more to do with vehicle condition than vehicle type.
