"Good looking, unreliable, fun gas miser"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The headlight motors age poorly and need to be rebuilt.

The motor mounts in this thing tend to wear out quickly given the little stress placed on them by the four banger.

The back of driver's seat wears out quickly.

The engine had to be rebuilt at only 85,000 miles, due to a bad rod bearing.

The windshield wipers behave strangely. They are tricky to get into the off position without having an intermittent sweep.

The interior is kind of melted looking.

General comments?

I have a love/hate relationship with this car.

I love it except during its frequent bad behavior spells.

This car is not very fast, but it handles like it's on rails.

Gotta love that gas mileage (30+ in town and 35+ on the highway).

A real good looking car.

The styling is much more modern. People sometimes think it was made in the mid 90s.

I agree with you, these cars were never "Fast" and got 30-35mpg whenever they actually ran.
