 Drive it first.  The noise level is pretty high.  That said, things that matter more to me are this car's strong suits.  The gas mileage is phenomenal.  It is STILL getting 32 or so mpg, and we drive back roads more than highways.  It's got a lot of miles, but just goes and goes and goes.  We do maintain the oil changes religiously.  We were told not to bother tuning it up as long as the mileage is so good, so we'll do one when/if that starts to fall.  We did replace the belt (there's only one for everything).  It didn't cost that much.  We've kept good tires on it.  If you care for it, it'll care for you.
