I have never had any trouble out of the car since I have owned it that was the car's fault. Three days after I got it I was turning and hit the gas too much and lost control. I had to replace the left wheel assembly and the rim. It's kind of hard to find someone who knows how to work on these cars.
This car handles awesome!
The acceleration isn't as great as I thought it would be. Not too bad though.
If you just want a car that is fun and will pick up chicks, this is it.
I have had an 84 and now own an 88. In the unmodified base model, gears 1,2, & 3 won't necessarily throw your head back. When you get in 4 and 5, the engine really goes. These engines run better at higher RPM's.
