Faults:

All of the usual things...

The brakes needed replacing quicker than usual.

The axles needed replacing.

The ball joints and the tie rods were prone to wearing out prematurely.

The fuel pump began running intermittently, and then stopped altogether. It left me in the middle of a busy intersection one day.

The gas tank rusted out.

The the car started every time! Except when the fuel pump quit.

The acceleration that the car had was very surprising at times!

The seats are comfortable for long trips. I now own a Honda and that car is a lot more punishing, although it is 1000 times more reliable.

General Comments:

This car is a cheap car in comparison to a new car. Do your homework if you choose to purchase a used car. Unless you pan to buy new, I do not suggest you buy this car. It is simply too old to be reliable. Better values exist. You can save money by doing your research on the reliability of used cars. On top of that, since the car has been discontinued for more than ten years, the parts will be harder to come by. Pass this car up if you plan to buy used.

Faults:

The car drops into neutral when accelerating too much through a left hand turn.

The drivers side brake caliper has been destroyed.

General Comments:

It is a cheap car and not a diamond in the rough.

It will get you from point A to point B cheaply and semi-quickly.

Faults:

The transmission up-shifts too early, and down-shifts too late, creating an annoying shaking throughout the whole vehicle.

Alignment is bad, the car will run right off the road if you let go of the wheel.

The car has a tendency to shake violently and stall when idling at a red light.

My exhaust system needs replacing.

General Comments:

Even at only 47,000 miles, this car runs poorly, and it has been maintained regularly.

The ride is loud, shaky and breezy with an annoying rattling noise.

The turn signal switch tends to pop-loose, a minor annoyance.

The seatbelt doesn't make me feel safe at all.

The brakes are spongy.

The accelerator is stiff.

The engine is loud and aggressive sounding.

Headlight/wiper/fan/Hazard light controls poorly placed.

Handles badly in the rain.

Seats uncomfortable.

Poor placement of trunk release/gas door.

Terrible MPG (18 street, 20 Hwy).

Here's the good things:

The trunk is very spacious.

The cruise control and power windows seem to work fine.

Speakers sound exceptionally good.

Warm heater, cool A/C.

The tachometer is a nice option.

Nice over-head cabin lights.

Overall, unacceptable for a well-maintained car with low miles.
