1974 Ford Pinto Runabout 4 cylinder
Summary:
Great
Faults:
No major problems. I did have a flat on the right back tire during the first year from picking up a nail on my way to work one morning, and got stranded til my boyfriend came to change my flat tire.
The 3rd year I had my Pinto, I got another flat on the right back tire and had to run on that flat tire to get to a phone to call for help to change my flat. I am one of those women that does not change a flat tire, and will run on a flat if I have to. My tires were getting worn by then, and after that flat that I ran on, I got a new set of tires.
General Comments:
Great little car for going to work, and around town for shopping and several trips on the road. My Pinto gave me good service and was a great economy car to drive. It was easy drive and park. Really enjoyed it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I saw you read my review of my of 1974 Pinto runabout I wrote on Dec 24,2015. My little Pinto was a good car and gave me good service. I only had to do routine service, and replaced a few batteries and a set of tires. I did get two flat tires on the right back tire when I was driving by myself, which was the only times my Pinto left me stranded on the road and in town, and I was able to get help to change my flat tires. It was a great little car for a young single girl then.

Really, 10 years and 80,000 miles and all you had was two flat tires?
And people claim Pintos were lousy cars...
