General Comments:

According to the previous owner (she bought it brand new), the only problems she encountered were the distributor cap (it was replaced), radio not working, and rear defrost not working.

From my experience, I have concluded that once this model hits 75,000 km it is in need of constant servicing. Hopefully, it may only be the servicing I am receiving and not the car itself. Having to replace the wheel bearings 3 times within a year is outrageous!

Otherwise, it handles great and it wonderful on gas. :)

General Comments:

This is the most reliable car I have owned. Always starts, always gets me to where I want to go. It gets pounded on driving down the rutted up Forest Lanes that abound the area where I live. I smashed it up a few months back and I am still driving it. I went through a T intersection and ran over the sign, a 4 inch diameter pole, and a corner post. The air bags went off and the front of the car was pushed into the engine. I pulled it home and pulled the front end out with my tractor and viola! Car fixed! It used to get 50 mpg, but after the accident mileage fell to 35. Still good, but not nearly as good as before. All in all I am very impressed with this car for 125 bucks.

Faults:

When I bought this car for $720, I found only a few problems.

The sprayers for the wind shield lost their spray power.

Wiring problems that caused the lights to go out now and then (not likely a manufacturing problem).

General Comments:

I no longer have this car, I passed it on to my brother, but enjoyed having it so much that I wanted to comment. As long as I owned it, I only had to change the oil and replace brakes.

It's very fast up to about 65, and I loved the over-drive.

Had no problems on ice with studs.

Could take it on gravel, grass, or slick parking lots and go nuts.

A very fun and reliable little cheap car.

Faults:

Bad Brakes

Rear Wheel Bearings

Exhaust.

General Comments:

I have been very pleased with this car. It gets great gas mileage (38+) and it is fun to drive. I love being able to park just about anywhere I want. So far it has been reliable. The engine has plenty of pep. As far as I can tell it does not burn any oil, but it does leak some. This car also has the traction of a mountain goat. I have been able to take it a few places that you would think a small car would never beable to go. Over all it has been a pretty good car, especially considering I only paid 150 bucks for it.
