General comments?
Not a bad car for free, all I had to replace was the battery and alternator and it was mine. It's not large, so don't expect much, great first time car.
Not so bad on gas, like most cars, service every 15K or so. I'll probably drive the crap out of it until it dies, then put a new motor in it, and drive it till I die.
It's a great first time car, cheap, and is okay. Beware on repairs, usually expensive for replacement parts, but go to a junk yard and strip that car.
