[emoji1696] it's a good runner for at least a few years!

My wife drives the same car/year. We bought it used back in 2016. It has been very reliable but the one thing I don't like is the lack of insulation. Outside noise is very prominent. Probably not an issue for a teenager though. If it hasn't had a transmission fluid change, do it and keep an eye on the level. She started having some shuddering at various speeds. Turned out it was very low. Not sure why at 75K and no obvious leaks.
