1993 Asuna Sunfire 1.8 liter DOHC from North America

Summary:

The MOST reliable car I have ever owned!

Faults:

Transmission rebuilt at 180,000.

New tires (front) at 190,000.

Routine maintenance oil changes @ 5,000.

Air filter, plugs and distributer.

165,000 Vacuum leak, EGR and all vacuum lines replaced, O2 sensor.

The clutch cable seized up and punched 25c hole in the firewall at around 170,000.

The driver side seat in starting to wear, moisture problems in the winter; rear tail lights, windshield and side windows. The rear defrost still works great though.

General Comments:

A great car for reliability a 10 out of 10!

I have never owned such a great car EVER! (once tuned)

Handling is very good on; twisty roads, city, wet weather and highway driving.

Very compact; you fit where most vehicles can't.

Fuel economy is great.

Lots of room in the engine bay, easy to work on (all metric).

Lotus suspension! Need I say more?

But I have moved on and bought my self a new car… (due to long highway driving) SO, I’m looking to Give this car to any Asuna/Isuzu owner who is willing to come and pick it up … and use it for parts, etc.

It is still in driving condition just the passenger door is jammed and would need to be fixed.

1993 Asuna Sunfire 1.8L DOHC from North America

Summary:

The car of my dreams

Faults:

The only problems I have had with this car are the alternator went, which wasn't cheap to fix, this is very common on these cars.

Also, I broke the clutch cable, which wasn't a big deal, but it took a week to get it to me from Edmonton, thanks to the rarity and shortage of parts for these cars.

General Comments:

This is the greatest car I have ever owned in my life, fun to drive, looks great, if only they were still being made, I would have a new one too.

1993 Asuna Sunfire 1.8 from North America

Summary:

Never regretted buying it and still love it!

Faults:

-Straddled a rock while passing a truck and rock bounced up and broke fuel pump in gas tank.

-Front right directional tire (Potenzas) had been put on backwards. Caused steering problems until changed.

-Minor rust on rocker panels.

-Minor rust on metal beneath wiper blades.

General Comments:

Had the car in China (Beijing) for 3 years. Only time winter driven. Fuel pump incident happened on way to Great Wall.

A hit with the locals. After almost 13 years still love driving this machine.

Corners like a dream and is not scared of other rice rockets.

Only expense has been fuel pump, oil changes, batteries in 12 years.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
