When we first got the car, the first thing we noticed was it leaked oil from the side pan on the transmission. With further inspection, I found out that the oil pan was almost completely rusted out, thus the oil leak. Also the dash light behind the heater panel didn't work. Another problem I found was gas mileage. After crawling under the car I found that the fuel line had a hole about the size of a pin in it. Other minor problems include: dome light malfunction in the drivers side and seat belt re-tractability.
This car definitely is not a car you'd see on the fast and the furious, but it handles very well and gets me from point A to B.
Generally speaking economy was the word of the day when these cars were produced. As well, the fire and forget maintenance attitude of the day did not go ever well, finicky beasts these cars be.
