Try and hold out for a 2004 Axiom if thats what your thinking of getting. My mechanic is big on Axioms. They look great, are different, and a great deal to pick up on the used market. My mechanic told me there were several problems with the first two years, that they finally fixed in '04. The '04 also has a redesigned dash that is much nicer. The '04 had more horses and torque because of the new direct injection, which my mechanic said felt like a lot stronger than the numbers reflect. Another bonus-- better gas mileage.
