The only problem I had with it,which is a common problem with these, is the stock radiator hose. It popped off while I was on the freeway and ended up needing a new water pump because it overheated. I installed the one piece upper radiator hose and haven't had any problems since. I would recommend getting a 07 and up because they come stock with remote start and hid's which mine doesn't have. If I would get another one I'd get a 2010, they come with the all black interior which looks dope. Other than that they're pretty reliable cars if u all the maintenance on time.
