We bought an 02 GT in March of 02 and it now has 40,000 mile son it. Overall we have been happy with it despite some annoyances.

We have had constant problems with the window stickers bunching up at the seams, had them replaced 3 times on the front doors and they are bunching again.

The transmission has been reprogramed twice for a confused/hard shift into 3rd, it still is confused sometimes.

We had the CD player replaced twice for static in the volume knob, now have an aftermarket cd player to get rid of that problem.

The stock Michelins sucked in the snow and rain especially, they hyroplaned alot. I had Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds put on and it performs excellent in the rain and snow now. It also needed an alignment because the rear end would get squirrely driving straight on icy surfaces.

The fog lamps seem to burn out frequently, I have replaced both sides twice. I also have replaced the passenger side headlight. They aren't cheap!

I have an annoying rattle int he hatch that I haven't looked into yet. I noticed that someone else noticed a rattle in the dash in cold weather, anyone know of a fix?

I know that this seems like a lot of things wrong, but we have been really satisfied overall with this car. My wife drives it mostly and she really likes it.

It gets decent mileage. It averages about 23 in town and on the highway at ~75 it gets 32-33. I have gotten as high as 38 going 60 with the wind mostly at my back.
