Faults:

Engine fire from leaky injector.

Countless electrical failures and intermittent issues.

Cooling system corroded.

General Comments:

I bought the car because I lusted after it, even knowing the cooling system had been badly neglected.

It was fun to drive, but the electrical system was a nightmare. The power windows failed (bad switches), the security system went insane (bad solder connections in the modules), ignition coil failed, and the low side connection on the coil after that became intermittent, causing the car to stall every few minutes for two months before it stayed bad long enough to track down.

The ECU decided the engine was not running, and shut down the fuel pump every minute like clockwork, and many, many more. I wondered if it had been a flood vehicle, but never saw any sign of flood damage.

I found out it had been recalled for problems in the fuel distribution system, but it had never been taken in... I learned all that after the engine fire.

Faults:

Not a thing.

General Comments:

The best car I ever owned, and I had many cars.

This car drove and handled like it was out of this world.

General Comments:

This is a great first car (it was mine). Lovely and sporty, and extremely good on fuel compared to other cars.

Had a lot of grunt and power, and superb handling.

An all round good car. I'm definitely purchasing another, just an earlier model.

Faults:

The clutch fan belt broke and wrapped around the fan. Cutting it off and replacing it was easy.

Needed new tires- the older ones were bald.

The intermediate exhaust pipe had a giant hole in it. Had that replaced.

Has some rust in the rear quarter panels & under the car on the rockers and underneath the front of the car. Rusted through on a few spots, but patch-able.

General Comments:

Amazing car to drive... easy to shift and great on the highway. I've wanted one of these for years and I was incredibly lucky to find one at the price I did. It's been reliable so far- the security system still works well, maybe a little too well. LOL.

Acceleration is fast. ALL the instruments work inside; the digital dash, the G-force meter, the digital compass, the on-board wheel radio controls, the stereo, lights, etc. etc. I wish I was old enough to own one of these in 85, but I'm sure it was top-of-the-line then. It is to me even now. Awesome car... if it dies I'll fix it up and have it reborn again and again. I'll never part with it!
