Owner of an 03 Aero with 59K here. It's been very, very reliable. Just a few little things and one major annoyance that I hope to get fixed in the next week or so.
PCV #6 upgrade, replaced CPS, replaced rain-sensing wiper sensor. Every 6 months or so it develops the famous steering clunk and I have to get the spline lubed. Other than that it's been very solid. Still a joy to drive and there's nothing better for a long highway trip.
The annoyance is persistent rattling and groaning from the rear suspension. I replaced the shocks but that didn't fix it. I'm taking it in for the 60K and hoping it's bad sway bar links or something. Doesn't effect driving, but sure is annoying.
I change the pure synth oil every 4-5K and have since new. Make sure it's had many oil changes. Perhaps I've been lucky, but I've experienced few of the other problems listed here. Original DIC, SID and other stuff.
Manyh people think 03 was the best year -- still full of content, the new suspension and a nice body style.
