Faults:

Distributor cap cracked at 128k, starter strips sometimes can be fixed by rocking the car though, transmission slowly went around 133k - kind of my fault though, I beat on it pretty bad.

General Comments:

Very small, reliable car, but feels like a go-kart at times, pretty ballsy for a v4 anyway - the 17 year old car got chugging to 110 mph before it topped out.

General Comments:

General Comments:

Car is nothing glamorous, but is very dependable, honest transportation.

Very low up keep compared to my former car, 1981 Chevy Malibu. All I've had to do is change the oil and do normal preventative care.

Interior is very modest and is not that comfortable, compared to other Japanese cars.

For a four cylinder, the car has no lack of power.

Automatic transmission shifts very smoothly.

Steering is very tight and has no play.

Best value for the dollar.

This car will out live me and you. Look how many are still on the road!
