Very reliable and cefinitely worth the little bit they cost
The starter went out at 100,000 miles.
The calipers went bad at 215,000 miles.
This car is definitely one of the most reliable ones that I have owned-That is why I've owned three.

Power steering hose needed to be replaced.
This car was my first car. I really liked it and lots of people were impressed by the sporty and futuristic design. Comparable to the look of a Porsche, but a lot cheaper.
The car had a little bit of guts, but I was not blown away by its speed.
The interior is cozy, especially the backseat which is ample for groceries and kids 10 or under. But I guess that's minor since I never would sit in it. This car was also very endurable, since I'd cram 5 people and sometimes more in there, and never found it affected the car. The car also handled very well in snow.
I was expecting better gas mileage from this little car.
Unfortunately the car's demise occurred whenever I jumped some railroad tracks with five people in the car and took out six guard rails. Whoa what a rush, but I think the fact that the car was so tiny prevented anyone from being injured.

A beater that will whoop most civics
Head gasket blew at 240,000 kilometers.
Replaced rotor button.
Needed an alternator.
New exhaust.
Needs new wires and secondary pickup.
Needs new rear sway bar bushings.
Porting and polishing it because of some failed valves.
This car is amazing, really quick and likes downshifts from 4th to 3rd doing about 90 clicks. the ride is amazing handles corners real well. have a k&n air filter for it so it seems to work better fromm 3000 rpm to 7200 rpm.
The back seats suck and prefer to have them out. theres no foot room in back and people bang there heads on the rear glass.
Nice layout inside the car and very comfortable I find, mainly because I'm 5"10" if you were over 6 foot not too bad though.

Very good and reliable car
My brake lights went before I purchased the car. It was an easy repair by hooking up a wire to the stop light fuse and bearing one of the wires that lead to the brake light switch. Lights work fine now.
Small leak on the passenger side. The leak was coming in through the hood funnel. Small patch job worked fine.
Other than that there were no real problem with the car.
This is a very fast car without any mods.
Good handling with it on the road.

The best car for the lowest price
Well my struts went; that was a little sad. I suppose it is because the guy before me drove it hard. But besides that, nothing wrong has happened to it.
Great car. Reliable and quick if driven properly. If you get a body kit, it will look superior. You can check some pics out at cardomain.com.

Do you have pictures of this car anywhere else? 1 million miles is impressive. Surprised when any vehicles makes it that long. Cardomain was discontinued & does not exist anymore.
One: The review was 20 years ago.
Two: No way this car survived one million miles.
Why, because it's not a Lexus/Toyota?

Does the tapping sound seem to be coming from the dashboard. Every winter there is a very annoying tapping noise that gets louder as it gets colder.
