"For quick, cheap fun, this is the one!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had to replace starter shortly after purchase, cost: $38.00.

Clutch needs to be replaced, can do it myself for $158.00 and one afternoon (mechanic by trade).

Sunroof leaked, had to replace gasket. Cost: $32.00 including shipping.

The car didn't have a headliner when I bought it, probably ruined by sunroof leak.

General comments?

I have really enjoyed the short time that I've owned this car. It is quick on acceleration, fairly economical, and runs very well.

Handling is descent, although not as good as an import.

I'm 6' tall and have no complaints about the comfort in the front seats, rear seats are a little cramped, but do-able if necessary.

I haven't raced anyone with this car, but I can tell you that it cannot keep up with a Z71 pickup in stock trim (co-worker left me in dust while leaving work), I'm sure it would have no problems burying a stock or mildly modified Honda though.

Funny, you can't beat a z71 stock pick up yet everyone else on this forum with a newer model z24 (95 and above) claims to have beaten 5.0 Mustangs and even a few Camaros, just a thought I had.
