Faults:

Fuel Pump disintegrated around 77000 miles a long with the timing belt.

I had to replace the driver's door handle because the plastic cracked during the winter.

General Comments:

This car was one of the best I've ever driven. It is quick and handles extremely well. The gearing was also very good. First could hit 45 and second could hit 75! Not your typical import.

This car was very reliably and never left me hoping that it would stop. I picked it up for $1300 pretty much a steal in my opinion. I knew the timing belt and clutch needed to be replaced when I purchased it.

The interior and exterior were flawless and there was no rust. For being a Michigan car that's quite an accomplishment.

The only reason I stopped driving the car was because I got rear ended by a Buick going 40mph on ice. The whole back end crushed in and it's pretty much totaled. Nothing happened to the Buick, GM designed those like tanks.

Faults:

Computer and Distributor both went out at the same time $580.

Lash Adjusters went bad $180.

Valve Guides and seals went bad.

Timing and Balance Shaft Belt broke $80.

Fuel Pump Relay went bad $100.

CV Joints $250.

After the $1200 I put into the car to fix all the things that went wrong I really have no complaints. The car is pretty fast for only having 98 horsepower. I have had it at 135mph and the front end started shaking real bad. The car gets awesome gas mileage 27-36 depending on how you drive it.

My only complaint with the 1.8L is that there isn't much that you can do to the engine other than exhaust and things like that.

The 2.0L have plenty more room to work with as in turbos and all wheel drive. I got the car for free so the 1200 I put into it can be considered at payment for Price.

All in all if you are going to buy the car be weary of the 1.8L have the computer and the emissions checked before you get serious about buying one.

Faults:

The only things that have gone wrong with this car is the transmission doesn't seem to like you to shift into first when coming to a stop sign or such. You have to come to a complete stop then shift, which is kind of a pain when soon as your slowing down and their taking off at a green light you have to start in second, or stop and shift to first.

This car is a great car for speed and style.. This car can look like a crazy drag car and its handling is perfect. I was doing 115 down my road and a deer ran in front of me and I was able to slide around, but under complete control with that all wheel drive on it (i don't recommend doing those speeds though).
