"A gas guzzling, unsafe car for all drivers, especially teenaged drivers"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to replace the alternator

fix the electrical wiring in my engine b/c everytime I put the car in reverse, the starter fuse would blow

I had to replace the clutch at 110,000 and the timing belt

I had to buy a new back window.

General comments?

Gas Hog!!!

Loud

Noisy

Expensive to maintain

Not a guy magnet like I thought it would be

No power at all

Horrible and dangerous blind spots

Not a good teenager car at all... In fact, this car just overall sucks. Do not buy it if you know what is good for you.

I purchased a new 1993 Amigo. Still have it! Best car I have ever had. No break downs, but I KEEP Amigo maintained! Great car for teenagers IF they have common sense to begin with! Both my kids have used my Amigo and had respect for it and had a great time in it. Two of my friends still have their 1992 and 1993 amigos also. One has 140,000 miles. the other 200,000. They have never had any problems, but they ALSO maintain their cars!

My wife and I own both a '90 &'91 Amigo. They were both bought used with approx. 100k miles on them. I will agree with most people- they do get lousy gas mileage, are under-powered and are a bit noisy. They also ride pretty harsh, too. However...I've been places in an Amigo that I didn't think were possible. I've driven through what I thought was only accessible by foot. To me, it's a fair trade-off, for a vehicle that doesn't look like everything else on the road, and is very fun & adaptable!

You obviously did not maintain your vehicle well. I purchased my '94 amigo with 40000 miles and it has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It now has 200000 miles and still going strong with a total of about $3000 dollars of repair bills,over 7 years I would say that is pretty darn good.
