I can't remember every single problem that went wrong with the car. I was mainly too young to know what they were.. I just cared about getting my car back.
I had several problems with the transmission.
The starter had to be replaced once, with another problem later on.
It leaked oil a lot.
I had a problem with my exhaust. I never got it fixed, but it was really loud. It would defiantly affect how fast I was going on the freeway and my acceleration. I couldn't go faster than about 75-80 on a good day or it would freak out.
Sometimes when the car was stopped and idling, it would rattle.
The brakes wore really fast.
My axlr needed to be fixed costing about $500.
Lots of problems with the battery.
And these are just the ones that I knew about.
The seats were fairly comfortable for long trips.
Stereo system not up to date, but what do you expect from a 92.
It had fairly good fuel economy.
Its not a bad car for a first time driver because its not that old, but not that new.
It was very fast and handled really well at high speeds (when it was running).
It handles fairly well.
It has a sporty look to it.
I really loved this car, and I was sad to see her go. Personally, I don't think this car was that bad, but the owners that had it before me may not have taken great care of it. Also, I think the mechanic was kind of shady and did more harm than good.

It's a love hate thing with these cars, I agree.

Ditto.

Absolutely, even (especially) the DSM specialists will rip you off.
