General Comments:

Very reliable car. The car is starting to fall apart, but it's 10 years old and it was a cheap car to start with, and I'm sure it's lasted longer than it was supposed to.

I bought this car when my 1991 Metro died, that was a great car, it had 175,000 miles before it decided to go. I've never had any problems with these cars as far as mechanical things, I did however enjoy the 91 hatchback more than the 92 convertible.

Faults:

Needed a new muffler after a year.

The cack window split in the winter due to the temperature.

General Comments:

Excellent little car, I love it. It is very cheap on gas, and was cheap to turn into a stereo comp car.

Handles great on city streets and highway driving.

Looks great with the top down.

All round perfect little car.

Faults:

Air-conditioning had to be recharged @ 82,000 miles.

Rear window has cracked where it folds.

Muffler has came loose.

Driver's side door handle broke.

Top leaks water badly.

General Comments:

Very reliable car. Made cheaply though. Course that's what these cars are - cheap transportation, so you can't expect much from them.

Great on gas even with an automatic. Very slow though, no power at all, engine runs at extreme RPM's on the interstate.

Would be a lot better with power steering.

Faults:

Rear window split.

General Comments:

I've been disappointed with this car, even though I hate to say that because I've wanted one of these cars for a long time.

There is NO acceleration at all, EVERYTHING can pass you.

Top leaks more than you would think it would.

A/C pulls the engine down so much that you can't really run it unless you are already in motion before you switch it on.

So far it's been really reliable. Engine winds out at extreme RPM on interstate. Gas mileage is very good, but extremely poor with the A/C running.

Faults:

The car is running on 2 cylinders. I'm replacing the engine soon.

I needed to replace the alternator.

I replaced the front brakes and rotors.

I replaced the front control arm.

I've had a hard time with wipers, and the driver's side wiper pops out of the socket.

General Comments:

I am driving this car on 2 cylinders. When I bought the car it only had 2 cylinders, so it has gone at least 25,000kms (50,000 miles) on 2 cylinders with few problems (it's much slower).

This car is great. It's very cheap to run, and it's pretty comfortable considering I'm a 6'2, 340lb man.

If maintained properly, this car will be perfect for singles, or for very small families who need a 2nd car.
