General comments?
I purchased this car from my friend, so I was familiar with its history since new. I add 45000km on it. Excellent acceleration with manual shift & good cornering for 4door sedan. Over all very reliable vehicle. Car finally died from blown head gasket at 425000km with ORIGINAL CLUTCH!!
