Faults:

When I acquired it from my great-grandmother out of her garage...

The hatchback risers didn't work.

Headliner is begining to come unglued in the back (any suggestions?)

The air conditioner didn't work, I'm going to have it switched from the R-12 A/C system to the newer, cheaper 134 type. But, I'm broke.

General Comments:

It's an awesome first car, and I recomend it to learn on. It's a bit under-powered, but hey, it's 4 wheels that aren't attached to my skateboard.

It's super clean and the inside is literally showroom quality. I have the high-back "sports" seats, and those are really comfortable if you're into sitting lower to the ground like me.

It was worth the $1000, yes, one thousand dollars I (my parents) paid for it. The insurance company goes easy on me, too. No one wants to steal a Horizon.

Faults:

I had to have the carburetor at 165,000 miles. The driver's side door handle had to be replaced due to extreme weather conditions. Other than that, routine maintenance and repairs consistent with mileage have taken care of everything.

I drove this car for 10 years before turning it over to my son. With well over 100000 miles on it, I drove from the mid-Atlantic region to Washington state and back again. The only problems encountered during either trip were the carburetor-rebuild and a few radiator hoses that should have been replaced before I left.

The car has never failed to get me where I want to go and back again, it's comfortable and I consider that I've gotten back the $1500 I paid for it at least three times over.

Faults:

Where should I begin..?

These things are what was wrong with it when I got it:

Passenger door was falling off.

Hatchback wouldn't stay open (still doesn't)

Difficulty starting.

Horrible idle speed.

These are the things that are wrong with it now:

Exhaust sounds like a motorcycle.

White replacement door (on my red car) is falling off AGAIN.

Door handles coming off.

Door locks don't work (key won't go in)

Gas pedal all jacked up.

Stereo ruined (my fault)

Ugly car.

Sometimes it dies.

General Comments:

I hate this car. It's generally reliable transportation, but overall it doesn't look nice, girls hate it, and the driver... Handles like a box on wheels. No power. It gets me wherever tho, just not in style.

Faults:

The carburetor severely needed help. I didn't have (or want) to spend the money to fix it. As a result cold weather starting was difficult and the idle was very high.

The car's life ended when the starter motor died.

The exhaust system was also in need of help. I managed to fix it with a coat hanger.

The air conditioner didn't work.

The struts for the rear hatch didn't work.

The rear tail light socket shorted out. I couldn't get a replacement at an auto parts store. I had to go to a salvage yard.

General Comments:

This was my first car. It was a good car to learn how to drive. If I wrecked, who cares, it was a jalopy.

The women loved it also. This car made me very popular.
