Differential also exploded.
Rear hatch supports shot.
Ball joints needed replacment.
Alternator needed replacment.
Burned oil (piston rings maybe)
A/C did not work.
General comments?
This car had a lot of these problems already when I bought it. I fixed them one by one, but one by one new problems would arise. I called it quits when the transmission went out. I wish I could have owned one of these brand new. I bet it was really nice. It is a very quick little car for a four cylinder. It will keep up with most other sports cars I would bet even some V8's. The AWD is a really cool experience. Takes turns like no other. The interior and exterior design is just whats to be expected form a 1990 car. Not too bad though. All in all it was a fun car to drive just wish I could've had one in better condition.
