"Good for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuse panel cover will not stay on
Engine seal leak
Steering gear failure
Parking brake malfunction
Normal wear and tear (IE tires, brakes, fluids, plugs, etc.)
General comments?
-terrible suspension compared to 91 Toyota corolla

-very cramped for me (5'11'')
-feels very American
-not the greatest body design
-not the greatest horn button placement (I honk every time I do a U turn)
-great on gas considering displacement

-WINDOWS ALWAYS FOG UP
-seats are the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in
-overall not bad.
