Faults:

I had the ignition switch replaced just recently.

Fuel tank has a small leak.

Rear window defroster does not work.

General Comments:

I have not had a lot of problems with my car other than a faulty ignition switch and it had a problem with stalling at intersections which was fixed with a simple tune up.

It is also starting to rust pretty bad due to the mileage and road salt.

It may not be the quickest car on the road, but still runs better than some cars half its age and still gets great gas mileage.

Overall, the car has some problems due to age, but is a very good, reliable car, and since it was given to me by my dad I really can't complain.

Faults:

The only major lifetime repairs were a new timing belt and water pump (80k), new brake lines (135k), and the usual exhaust, brake and tire replacements (wear and tear).

New CV boot and shaft (157k).

The interval wiper stopped working at 150k.

General Comments:

I inherited this car from my parents at around 85K, who used it “church on Sundays”, driving to doctor appointments, and two trips to Florida.

I use it as my beater car; I abuse it and it takes it.

The car is now close to 20 years old, has 157,000 miles with little rust and it gets 32 mpg and is great in snow.

A workhorse and peppy.

Faults:

I needed a new clutch, blinker and seat belt clicker. That is all.

The clutch was actually a cheap fix.

Small oil leak.

General Comments:

GREAT car!

Runs better than Blue Book Value puts it at!

Doesn't handle like a sports car, but.

Handle's well enough to stay safe.

VERY reliable!

Very Comfortable.

Faults:

I got rear ended into another car while stopped:

Left 1/2 of grille/headlight destroyed, frame, hood and fender bent (nothing a little love with a hammer and jack doesn't fix) Headlight replaced by $20 Wal-mart secondary driving light pair in headlight space screwed to the bumper.

Battery was also cracked and needed replacing.

Exhaust is out of alignment and about 20% louder.

Radiator bent, but still fully functional.

Things that have actually gone wrong:

NOTHING.

General Comments:

I've added:

LED dome light.

Power leather seat from '93 Toyota Cressida (my fabricated mounting adapters A-OK...went through the above accident without even noticing)

Second 12v outlet (since I had a brain fart and cut the first ones wires to power the seat)

Routine maintenance:

Oil changes.

After an oil change, spark plugs, air filter, and partial coolant flush the things downright perky for a 4 cylinder its age. (and tons of space under the hood to work on it)

After 19 years and 116k miles, the suspension is still a little stiff and sporty, and the engines solid as it is quick. mileage is about 25/38 city/hwy.
