Where should I begin..?
These things are what was wrong with it when I got it:
Passenger door was falling off.
Hatchback wouldn't stay open (still doesn't)
Difficulty starting.
Horrible idle speed.
These are the things that are wrong with it now:
Exhaust sounds like a motorcycle.
White replacement door (on my red car) is falling off AGAIN.
Door handles coming off.
Door locks don't work (key won't go in)
Gas pedal all jacked up.
Stereo ruined (my fault)
Ugly car.
Sometimes it dies.
I hate this car. It's generally reliable transportation, but overall it doesn't look nice, girls hate it, and the driver... Handles like a box on wheels. No power. It gets me wherever tho, just not in style.
I'm not trying to attack you, but you got the car with 210,000 miles on it. Did you expect it to be in brand new condition? If you think it's ugly why did you buy it? I owned a 89 which was my first car, and although I didn't love it, it got me where I needed to go.
One fun thing you can do that I did, is when your in grocery store parking lots ram any stray shopping carts---just look out for the fuzz before you do. That's best to do at night around 11pm--12pm.
I own an 85 4-door Horizon. 2.2L, it gets 34mpg.
Cost me $450, +4 tires, Gone over a year and needs
no repairs. Showing her age, But I can pass a gas
station, and don't need a loan to fill it up.
I have a 1984 Horizon and it has carted me about for 5 Years now, with a mere 400 Bucks spent on repairs. My view is Car Payments are a waste of Beer Vouchers.
