Faults:

Power steering pump after 2 days of ownership.

Rear end went out "Differential Failure".

Automatic transmission failed 2x.

Heater core failed with steamy air coming through A/C vents.

Electronic engine module failed, symptoms were car would stop running at speed, like on the freeway; had to put the car in neutral and restart the engine.

General Comments:

This was by far the worst car I have ever owned, purchased brand new, multiple failures in the short 2 year time span I owned it.

It never drove great either, it felt like it was riding on egg shaped tires etc.

Faults:

Transmission went out at 80,000 miles, but that was when the car was about 15 years old, not a big deal.

2 water pumps on it over the years.

Alternator went out at 85,000 miles.

Brakes last about 5 years or so.

(The parts guys cringe when I buy the stuff with the lifetime warranty.)

New carburetor at about 90,000 miles.

General Comments:

I bought the car at auction for $750.

That was 17 years ago and it still gets me back and forth to work daily for pennies. Not the prettiest, or fastest, or best handling. But I'll hang onto it till it squats down and refuses to move for the final time.

Faults:

I broke a brake line once in a panic stop. Cost me $16.53 to fix myself (easy).

That's about it..

General Comments:

This car is great, it isn't fast, but it is so reliable!

I change the oil on time every time.

The in-line six is torquey and very smooth. The car drives and rides like new, not only like when it was new, but even compared to new cars I have driven! It even handles well!

This car was WAY ahead of its time!

Well not the engine... but that is why it is so reliable-it is simple!
