General comments?
This car is not an all around good handling car, but is quick enough for day to day driving and has enough torque to get you buy.
Excellent Fuel Economy 46mpg highway, 36 city (5sp)
Cheap Interior Quality, but you can't expect too much for the price of the car.
Easy to work on.
Very minimal Maintenance costs for how many k's are on it.
