Starter solenoid ($5 part fixed by hand)
Universal joints (normal maintenance)
High-speed shudder (rebalanced tires fixed this)
Overheating (new thermostat fixed this)
Reverse lights on constantly.
Timing chain.
Ring and pinion gears.
Smooth engine with plenty of power, decent economy, and bulletproof durability and reliability.
Drove it for 30,000+ miles a year and gave me no problems.
Front seats are comfortable and there's plenty of space.
The backseat and cargo areas are tiny and cramped.
Poor side view visibility due to wide sail panels.
Vehicle protected me extremely well in a freeway crash and was drivable for two years afterward.
Large bumpers are extremely durable with rubber guards.
Great paint with lots of luster after 23 years.
Durable interior fabric, with front seats that were comfortable for decent distances.
Choppy ride due to short wheelbase, leaf spring rear suspension.
Durable interior fabric? For real? I've never seen one without rips and/or tears. Everything else I agree with.
Gremlins were built like tanks. A new car would be destroyed in an accident. A Gremlin always dies another day. But usually not because of an accident. Also, think of your car as a Volvo. They are safer!
