If you disconnect that speaker however you really don't miss it. The only speaker to fail me was the one in the center of the dash and that was due to direct sunlight and age drying out the cone. All the stock speakers save one are still in it and sound great. If you want all that you can upgrade it easily as it is a standard 2-din (size) radio. What the radio doesn't do is bluetooth or have an aux input or navigation. It does lack a bit in the radio department compared to today's radios but still sounds great. If you keep it maintained this car will last a long time. It still gets 26-27 miles to the gallon if you aren't a lead foot. The engine is still strong and can still accelerate hard when I need it to. I trust this car as my daily driver to get me to work every day. Just keep it aligned and replace the shocks when they are due. The ride is solid and smooth as can be, even at interstate speeds. There is very little rust on the car too. Overall I'd say the build quality of the car is super high given the longevity I've gotten out of it. It did have lifter tick (very noisy) at 220K but I replaced the lifters (lash adjusters), which is a job you can do just under the valve covers, and it has not been an issue since. Original engine, and never been overhauled. I'm not kidding this car has 377 thousand miles on it. Even so, 320K miles for a transmission is hard to beat in any car. I was able to drive it to a shop, it was just acting funny, like taking 5 seconds to shift. Even in that state It didn't leave me by the side of the road. The guy working on it said he had never seen such wear. at ~320,000 miles! I don't really think of that as a failure, just wear and tear. The transmission? yes that did eventually fail. I've gone through oh 4-5 batteries on it. It … always starts right up no problems, when the battery was good that is. I don't think the car has ever actually failed. Keep up with the maintenance on it and it wont have any problems. Oh sure there was an occasional flat or dead battery but those are maintenance items. I have owned it since new and it has never let me down. A failure to report any problems inhibits our ability to correct them and puts all responsibility on the receiver.What can I say about this car?
