I have a 2003 Arc wagon, v6, 75,00 miles. Great car, esp. when you press the sport button.
Many on this bb say the 03 Arc is the best model in terms of features. But it's not set up like an Aero and it will not handle like an Aero handles.
No reason to avoid the v6 unless you prefer the attributes of the 4 (better mpg, for example). Properly cared for, the v6 will run and run and run. 60k is indeed the service interval for the timing belt. You must also do the pulleys and tensioner and all of this can add up FAST. $600-$1,000 for the full 60k service.
If you want that Arc sedan, factor in cost of the 60k service if it has not been done already.
