The module and Struts were replaced shortly after I bought the car, since then I put a new set of tires on it and kept up with regular maintenance, Transmission is starting to get a little sloppy when cold, but it's to be expected for an ex taxi.
The car has great acceleration and can beat anything short of a V8.
The cabin is really roomy and you can haul just about anything.
Handling is good considering the age of the car.
I have an 89 beretta GTU with the 2.8, and I love it, but I have a 5spd though, but it is a strong and surprisingly quick engine, a few years ago my parent had an 87 eurosport wagon, I even loved it back then, gootta love the sound huh? good luck with ur car. :)
2.8 have to be one of the best motors for cheap cars. I have a celebrity and it sounds mean (there is no muffler one it). Although it has no tourque it makes up for it when it gets wound up. The car has never died on me and continues to run strong.
