General comments?
I think that this is one of the best cars ever built cars were made to be driven no matter how valuable they might be I found out they only made 1300 of these cars in 1989 with the awd I also found out that the se eddition caould come with the awd drive package also, but it was a 4,000 dollar option.
Bottom line is I love this car I never get stuck in anything I love the all wheel drive and the independant suspension and the digitial dash and the lumbar seats and the disk brakes all the way around and the electronic ride control and the flipping list is endless.
