General comments?
What a car. It had it's ups and its downs. This car had no power and was ugly as hell. Unfortunately, it was the 4 door, and not the scooter.
Other than that, you could not get this car down. I honestly believe this is one of the toughest cars ever made. This was my first car, and I really let it have it, but it took it all and begged for more. No matter how cold, it always started up.
I don't think it is possible to wreck this vehicle. I hit a full grown female deer at 65, and after a new grille and headlight shroud, the car looked better than before.
This car is so much fun off-road! It has just enough power to spin the wheels on dirt. Of course, I had a four door with an automatic. I might have kept this car if it was the scooter with a manual. But, if you could get $1200 for trade-in, you would get rid of it too.
