here is a quick list of the common problems that I have heard about/experienced.
broken keys from crappy door locks
stupid disty's crapping out
funny random idle raising and lowering
lousy shifter bushings
GS lip braking/splitting
breaking intake hoses
random stalling
exhaust manifold downpipe bolts breaking
anyone have anymore to add to the list?
btw: most of these problems have led me to mod my car, so I don't mind

The seat belts breaking all the time, and not moving fast enough. Also fading and/or flaking paint.

They all seem to have this nasty habit of being 10 - 16 years old. It's the strangest thing.

my seatbelts aren't automatic, so I guess that one won't break on me

I have that problem too and it's pissing me off, I've had to patch up a few places already, I didn't have a problem with this on my red one, but the white GS is giving me all sorts of trouble.

ah, yes. those too
If we get enough of these, maybe a mod will sticky this?
It would have been nice to know what to watch out for after I bought this car
