"It's just like a rollercoaster"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Around 180,000 miles one of the pistons siezed, but it still ran strong and it un-siezed itself. Bumpers have fallen off due to a bad driver. Gas door doesn't shut and if it does you have to pry it open. At 200,000 you had to start the car with it in either nuetral or in reverse. At 210,000 miles if you needed the windshield wipers you would have to shut the car of and put them on and then start the car for them to work. Something in the suspension rattles and such when you hit bumps. Drivers side seat buckle just broke at 212,000 miles. Electrical is showing so faults. The radio's screen when completly black when you look at it straight on so you have to manuver yourself up and down to catch what station you're on, and the tape player eats tapes like a fat kid eats cake. When you start the car in the winter it one of the cylinders won't fire until it is warm. Drivers side door won't open from outside. Small amount of body rust, but the underside is like the Titanic.

General comments?

This car is so reliable. It is comfortable on short rides less than an hour away. It smells because it's got a moldy interior. I put a flowmaster on it and now it roars down the street, it sounds like an 8 cylinder japanese car, but does it with only 4 cylinders. It can read tremendous speeds, I'm guessing about 150mph. It handles great, but seeing the condition of of original suspension I wouldn't trust it flying around on a country road.

Pistons are all connected together so if one siezes your whole engine stops. I have some trouble believing several statements in this review...
