"An excellent first car."

Nothing to date.

No problems when with previous owner either.

General comments?

Not much power, but great mileage.

Shifting not smooth when climbing or passing.

Great Handling, but too much body roll.

I have an 86 Skyhawk, only it's the 2.0 and not the 1.8. It does lack the power. The T-type (turbocharged) would help out a lot, especially on the interstate, because after you 65 with it loses a lot of acceleration. The rough shifting, I think might be linked to the fact that the torque converter is a clutch type, which means there's a direct connection between the engine and the transmission.
