Faults:

AC leaks, have been recharging it myself every summer since 1998. AC is weak even when fully charged.

Replaced factory radio at 100k.

Replaced headliner at 140k.

New Paint/Decals at 160k.

General Comments:

Good performance value. The 3.0 is lively even at 165k, and still gets 28-30MPG highway. Easily hits top end on the speedometer -- 130MPH. Have always run it on 87 octane.

Switched to Valvoline Maxlife at 125k, which seems to have cured a minor oil drip.

Have never replaced anything, except for routine maintenance. Original drive train, including clutch at 165k.

Cabin fairly noisy at highway speed.

I bought this car for a song and a dance at 16 -- money well spent.

Faults:

Minor oil leaks.

Paint started to chip at 110000 km.

Has a strange problem unknown to any mechanic I have taken it too - stalls while driving at any given time with no warning and no explaination.

Hydraulics to open trunk don't work anymore.

General Comments:

Love to drive it because it has great power.

Great handling.

Tons of room in the front, back seat is a little small, but still works.

Great on gas.

Faults:

Car has stalled a few times for no reason, it's an automatic. The first few times were in the winter, so I thought it was bad weather. Then it happened a few times in the spring, now it's a problem.

It eats oil like a baby eats candy.

It accelerates slower than a Ford Model T.

If I push the gas pedal too hard, the transmission all of a sudden shifts into neutral.

The brake pads are near dead, and from what I remember the guy I bought it from replaced them a year before.

Not the most beautiful thing to look at.

80 on the highway feels like a driving in an earthquake.

90 on the highway will blow the engine. I'm not saying this out of experience, but I can tell from the sound when I'm at 80.

Sometimes it feels like the car is shifting gears when it clearly isn't.

General Comments:

Although it is a very comfortable car to sit in, and the hatchback is a big convenience for me, being a guitarist and having large equipment, I generally wouldn't recommend it. When there's more problems with the car than there are good things to say about it, that really says something, that it's not a very good car. I'm still wondering myself why an automatic stalls. Not exactly a money pit of a car, but not exactly your safest tin box either. It was a steal at the time for $450, but now I know why it was only $450.

Faults:

I have not "had" replace anything on the car other than regular wear and tear parts.

Replaced Radiator for use with high performance engine.

Replaced Fan Shroud for use with high performance engine.

Interior received damage from a busted out window, but that was'nt the cars fault.

General Comments:

I will drive this car till the wheels fall off and then I will put em back on and drive it some more.

Faults:

The rocker panels rusted out. The windshield leaks.

General Comments:

This car is very good for the dollar, and is very peppy, great family car, handles well on the roads, lots of trunk space (for shopping)

Faults:

I am now in the process of replacing the Fan relay switch.

I recently replaced the Alternator, and the Belt.

After four months I had to replace the Head Gasket.

My Driver seat will not slide back. Therefore I am cramped up in a ball trying to drive.

General Comments:

The car handles exceptionally well for its condition.

Although like most cars it has it's mood swings.
