Faults:

The car still has the original emergency brake, clutch, transmission, engine, ignition, but the engine failed at 310,000 miles. It was a fantastic car and I wish I could afford to replace the engine. This car was excellent, other than regular maintenance, nothing was ever needed.

General Comments:

This car got good gas mileage and could pass anything, even going uphill. I really thought it would make 350,000 to 400,000 miles. Fantastic is the only word I can think of to describe this car. I loved it and still do.

Faults:

Blew head gasket and cracked the head around 95,000 miles.

Had to replace ALL the censors about 2 months later... almost costing more for these two repairs than purchasing the car! Also informed of radiator problems at this time and opted for a new rather than refurbished one.

Replaced fuel pump about 140,000 miles.

Began having an oil leak and discovered the check spout had became loosened from the motor. Because everything had became so saturated with oil, I had to replace the alternator..

Transmission is good, although leaks fluid occasionally and have to tighten the bolts in the pan. This is probably also do in part to the many country roads I travel.

General Comments:

I like the car and hate to part with it, although I know one day soon I probably will. It handles really well and have never really had any problems with it. Oh, the above ones, but I figure a car is a car and when you buy used, you generally are buying someone else's problems. But, hey, you live and learn. Overall, I cannot really complain as I paid a fair price for the car and it has taken me many, many miles.

Faults:

My head gasket blew at 120,000 miles.

My timing belt went at 118,000 miles.

General Comments:

This car is the best car I have ever owned. Even though it is slow going up hills it's very reliable and I haven't had any major problems with it. I love this little car and I bought it for $1500 dollars it was my first car and I rarely had to put money into it. Only twice. I recomend this car to anyone it's very reliable.

Faults:

The starter always made noise, but has always worked fine.

After I put my system in it, some of the plastic started to vibrate loose.

When it hit 130000 miles, the engine started to bog down and it lost power.

General Comments:

I have taken my Sundance through more mud and snow than I have ever seen another car go through. I truly believe that my Sundance will outperform any other car off road, with the same amount of tires spinning.

Faults:

My transmission went at 98,658 miles.

Compression loss at 95,000 miles.

Shocks are gone at 98,658 miles.

The head gasket blew at 42,000 miles.

Had to replace distributor cap twice.

Valves are knocking at 98,658 miles.

Heavy oil leakage at 97,000 miles from many places.

General Comments:

This car is extremely slow and as problems build it, up grinds to a halt. Current 0-60 is timed at 14.7 seconds by a G-Tech and two watches.

The cabin is small and Spartan.

Car has lousy fuel economy for the engine size and weight of the car, averaging at 21 miles per gallon.

Stumbles even while warm, stalls when its cold.
