"Great economical fun to drive car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Small trunk.

Interior has faded due to the convertible top being down a lot.

Original clutch only lasted 40,000 miles.

Car could use more power.

Cramped interior.

Small gas tank limits cruising range. If you're driving happily, you'll get about 24mpg. Car has a 10 gallon tank and some reserve, so 250 miles is about tops.

Oil filter is hard to get to.

General comments?

Car just feels right when you drive it. The suspension isn't too soft nor too hard.

Feels like a go-kart. Puts endless smiles on my face.

Cheap maintenance 4 cylinder engine and the light weight of the car makes tires last a long time and it gets good gas mileage even when driven somewhat hard.

Driven all freeway under 75mph, car will get 31 mpg. That's a 300 mile cruising range.

All maintenance is easy to do yourself.

Hi Steve. Just wondering how hard you drive your car. I have only had mine 3 months, but I get 35 MPG around town and the same on country roads. Mine 1.6 liter.89.
