I love my 04. No rattles. It is great in snow and rain (and dry!). Mileage is not great 16-21 (I may have got 22 one tank). I'd buy it again.

 

about the mileage, I have had 2 tanks, of a 350 mile highway drive (each way) average 23.5 mpg cruising at 77-83 mph (varying the speed during the first 1800 miles) My around town/mixed highway average about 18-20 though. Purely highway though, and you will get around 22-24. I only have 1800 miles on the car now still though, so the mileage should go up a little more as the car breaks in.
