Faults:

My Sprint now uses about 1 litre of oil every 3 weeks as opposed to 1 litre every six months when I first got it.

I have had to replace the muffler, a new drivers side floor and few odds and ends, but nothing major.

General Comments:

I find it to be extremely reliable and cost efficient to run. During the summer I have achieved 54 miles per gallon which drops to about 36 miles per gallon in the winter. I track the mileage at every fill-up so I have a running record.

Faults:

I have had to replace the gas tank.

I had to replace the front brake pads.

I had to replace the manual transmission. However this was my fault, not that of the car. I allowed the fluid level to become low and it overheated.

The interior is cheap and the seats are uncomfortable.

Body rust is a problem with my 87 Sprint.

I've had some electrical problems, especially with the interior lights.

General Comments:

This little car is a hoot to drive.

Car handles easily and parks like a dream.

Wonderful mileage and adequate pep.

Dependable, well built car that starts easily in cold weather.

Faults:

Replaced the front wheel bearings in November of 2000.

Have had to replace the intermediate pipe as well as the muffler. Most recently the catalytic converter had to be replaced. Seeing as the converter had to be replaced, I replaced the cat, with a Stainless Hi-Flow Cat, and 2" full exhaust system.

Minor rust on the body, which is being worked on daily as I have time.

General Comments:

Excellent vehicle, very reliable and has never let me down in any situation.

The seats could be more comfortable, that's a work in progress as is the rest of the car.

Superb handling, excellent cornering and acceleration, with a few simple modifications that are very cheap.

Faults:

Engine started using oil @ about 140,000 miles so I replaced it with a salvage engine. I think the carb might be about to die..

General Comments:

This car is something else. I mean you would never expect a car like this to last this long. It just keeps going and going I hate to get rid of it considering that it's never let me down once, but I got to say I'm getting kinda scared to drive it with all those gas hog Suv's out there. I pulled up beside one the other day and I swear you could have put three or four Sprints in that thing. I can just imagine if one of those things would hit it!

Faults:

Alternator went out, starter is starting to go.

General Comments:

Good little car, it's starting to burn oil. There is a little trail of blue smoke following me around everywhere. I suspect it will need a clutch soon also. It has served me well.

Faults:

I know of three people who have one besides me, they never last much past 80,000 miles. Burns 1 quart of oil every 300 miles (obviously a cheap engine).

General Comments:

Most popular color is blue. Has a Suzuki engine (they just need to stick to making motorcycles). If you must get one, get the Turbo model (you will thank me later). Cheap little car. Not safe. Don't waste your time.
