General comments?
I took this car over from my girlfriend and it is nothing, but problems. Even though it has 17300 miles; I believe the Japan competitors could put 200000+ miles without major problems. Right now the car runs and starts, but is in need of repair. I hear a clicking sound if I turn the wheel all the way to right or left. Anybody know what this is? Also A/C compressor stopped spinning when engine is on. Could be the compressor clutch, but not sure. I hear of the transmissions have a tendency to fail. I am wondering if I should get rid of the car now or put some money into it and see how far it will get me. Any opinions.
