"The best little car I ever bought"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil pump.
Fuel pump.
General comments?
This is a grate car. I bought it for $1500 dollars and have put lots of miles on it. It is very reliable and it has never left me stranded. I live in NC and have taken this car to Texas numerouis time.
The seats are very comfortable and the car is very fun to drive. It still gets 30 miles to the gallon and does not burn any oil.
You must use 20w-50 in this car or the low oil pressure light will come on.
I have had no major problems with the car and would buy one again.
