I've owned a Vibe before and loved the comfort, but the head gasket was starting to crack around ~80K miles so we traded it in for the Fit as we wanted to go back to a Honda. Mine is an '09 with 160K miles and so far have had very few problems.
The clutch spring issues were likely related to my sustained 4,000 RPM daily highway drives. I'd drive up to 90 minutes at a time cruising at 80mph, which was right around 4,000 RPM. I'm fairly certain that is what killed my clutch numerous times. Probably what took out my AC compressor/clutch 3 times as well.

I'd go with something like an impala or the likes from gm not everyone's taste nor that great of interior but doesn't scream racer boy or retired either just an average joe car Or an older k series crv.
Regardless of what it is at 2500ish you aren't gonna get everything and it be reliable to, I'd honestly suggest finding a salvage titled car you might get a newer but reasonably priced car, just check the structure aspects and ya won't go wrong.

Everything I've read said that they were terrible cars. Those were likely some of Ford's worst years, too. They're not bad looking, and a V8 is appealing (though V8 powering the front wheels never did anything for me...) Automatic only, which is something I can only get behind when the power is respectable, and sent to all 4 wheels (as in the new SHO).
Granted, if I was looking for a daily that had some uniqueness to it, I can't say I wouldn't consider a V8 SHO if one fell into my lap!

Id have to agree but for 2-3k it's hard to complain if I was in the market for such a "granny performance" car ain't none of em easy to work on compared to Hondas during that time including the old Yamaha v6 it's a pain.
