looking out?
well, there really aren't any major problems, you ran into one of the most common alraedy with your CD player.
You'll get squeaks inside the car. Might have to replace the strut mounts sometime not too far down the road.
We can probably help you out with anything you can come across anyways, so just check back if something ever happens.

I think you're pretty safe for anything major. Just change the oil, and drive it sanely and you'll be friends with it for some time.brotsn wrote:2003 5AT

Welcome to NICO!
Do a search for threads that have info on the 03-04 years. The main issues are: the 03-04 have a crappy stereo head deck/AC circuit board design. They fail more then the newer years. Next, the 03-04 have a brake dust issue. Aside from that, just do the normal maintenance and you'll be fine.
