Replaced valve cover gasket and spark plug rings at 190000 miles.

Replaced the radiator because of a small crack around 180000 miles.

General Comments:

This car is great on gas for something of its age. I get about 27mpg in mostly local driving, and more on the highway. It starts up on first try every time, and runs like a champ.

Corners nicely and can squeeze into tight parking spots in the city easily. The suspension on this car is car is expensive to replace due to its setup. Routine maintenance on this car is very easy to do.

Faults:

Went through 3 distributors since owned.

Some rust spots on the underside, rear wheel wells.

Rust spots on rear strut towers (leaky hatch seal probably).

Expensive to replace suspension for this little car.

Fuel gauge does not read correct, shows empty when there is 2.5 gallons still left in tank.

General Comments:

Car has been very dependable.

Handling is very good/sporty.

Great gas mileage even for its age; 27 mpg combination even though I drive hard.

Faults:

I had the car for 4 years, and nothing went wrong except for a battery being replaced, because my after market stereo and subs drained it badly.

General Comments:

This car was amazing. Not only did it run like a champ, but it never had a single thing go wrong with it. The engine always hummed away, the T-top was fun in the summer times, and it shifted like a dream.

I would get around 320 miles on a ten gallon tank, and highway I would get close to 450 miles off ten gallons.

The car could of used an air conditioner. Only thing that made it uncomfortable in the summer times. And its back seats were tiny.

Faults:

Ignition switch won't engage starter.

General Comments:

Fast and maneuverable, great gas mileage, plenty of front seat leg room, rear seat for occasional use only.

The drive train on this car is really reliable, but it has a major rusting problem.
