Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with this vehicle, although I just purchased it within the past two weeks. I do, however, need to check out a slight vibration that is noticeable at approximately 2,200 RPM.

The air conditioning is not functioning properly, although it does blow cool air (not cold).

General Comments:

This is a nice little car in appearance and to drive. I purchased the vehicle from the original owner, and it was exceptionally well maintained throughout. It is in almost new condition.

I have rechecked my calculations twice, but it is true - I am getting 47 miles per gallon on the highway!

I would highly recommend this vehicle if you are looking for a respectable economical vehicle that is very cheap to operate.

Faults:

My clutch went out around 135,000 miles.

The button for the defroster doesn't function properly anymore.

General Comments:

The car is lightweight, but I find mine quite underpowered. It is difficult to accelerate quickly as you approach speeds of 50 miles. per hour.

However, the car will accelerate well at lower speeds (0-35 mph.).

I get great gas mileage, Averaging about 30 mpg. on the highway.

The car will begin to shake around 70 mph. This can cause a CD player to skip. At higher speeds (75+) the car made a mysterious clicking or scratching noise. I was never able to figure out what it was.

I bought the car for $500. It was cheaper because it leaks a little oil from burning and dripping. however it is an excellent starter car.

I owned a manual version of the car, I find the car fun to drive, but I wouldn't say the same for an automatic.

One thing I found suprising was that the space where the clock would go, was a piece of plastic. The clock was optional!

Overall I liked this car, It has good gas mileage and it is fun to drive.

Faults:

The seats deteriorated and fell apart.

A wire corroded that connected to the positive side of the battery causing a minor problem with turning on the engine.

Muffler and exhaust system were shot when I bought the car. New one installed at about 170,000 miles.

Tune up was given to car around 170,000 and again at 205,000.

A new windshield was installed at 200,000.

The very top of the radiator where the identification plate was welded on developed a hole and was melting all around it at 205,000. I drove it that way until a new radiator was installed at 208,000.

General Comments:

Aside from the wear and tear of the car as to be expected for a used car, especially one with over 200,000 miles, it has been a gem of a car. This car has great turning ratio and quick pick up power when needed.

This car has never left me stranded yet, except for my own fault of locking myself out. (oops! ;}) It was very hard to break into the car!

The car has always started up for me without fail until the spark plugs and distributor cap wore out. As soon as the car had a tune up, it started right up again with no problems.
