This car was the most wonderful car I've owned, though in the end it went to a junk yard with a bad transmission. Other than that, I only replaced brakes, fluids, and one CV boot!
This car was fast for an automatic! It also had a lot of room under the hood (similar to a Geo Metro) making easy to work on. Its simplicity didn't give it the comfort that some cars have, but it was the simplicity that I loved - fewer things to go wrong! The car finally died because I would put it in neutral, rev it up, and then put it in gear to spin the tires. It's an automatic so my stupid actions put it in the junkyard at 160,000. I'm sure it would have gone at least another 15 or 20 thousand more...
-Reliable!
-Quick!
-35 miles per gallon!
-Great car!
I fully agree with an author and owner of this car. I own the same car, but 1992 and till now (May 05, 2005) I enjoy this car. It is very reliable, gas efficient and I would not sell this car if I didn't have to till the end of life for this car.
