General comments?
Just bought this a month ago looking for cheap/reliable transportation after years of loyal service from my 83 Camry.
Great car, but get the manual transmission. I've heard bad things about the automatic slipping into gear unexpectedly. The engine and transmission perform beautifully for an 88.
The comfort is less than I expected, though (coming from Acura).
The only thing that scares me is all the electronic doo-dads. I just stare at them, wondering when they'll go out. Not yet thankfully!
The body styling of this car is amazing for when it was born. Looks very elegant.
Can't believe I got this car for < $3000, and that was at a dealer!
