I had a 2002 ZX5 and had lots of troubles. Tie rod ends that wore out in just a few years. Steering box that leaked fluid and the whole thing had to be replaced. The red paint started to flake off all over the car - I would wash it by hand, and flakes came off on the rag.

Last straw was a leaking clutch master cylinder at just under 50K miles.

It drove great - handling and brakes were excellent. But I could not justify the quality issues; so I traded it in for my 2005 Scion xA.
