Faults:

Torque converter, mechanic said just from usual wear and tear and wouldn't need replacing again.

Blew 2 head gaskets, warping the head both times. 2nd gasket was a faulty part and replaced for free. Discovered after the second one that these cars are renowned for blowing head gaskets.

Car was written off about a month ago, but had been having problems with the transmission. When first started it wouldn't go into gear until it had warmed up for a minute or two.

Only had 2 rear speakers I believe and they were terrible.

Air conditioning didn't work, I knew this when I bought it and didn't get it fixed.

General Comments:

Other than above problems this was a great car.

I think it was well ahead of its time with power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, climate control.

Very unique car, not many around which I liked. Also had an aftermarket paint job which was in very good condition.

Wasn't real quick off the mark, but I put that down to age. Had sufficient power cruising along the highway with it not feeling like it was working to hard going up long hills.

Faults:

Keeps blowing the engine fuse.

Had severe oil leaks.

Has started overheating.

Has a broken computer (controls timing, engine performance).

General Comments:

I bought this car about a month ago, very cheap. It had obviously not been kept up. Definitely a project of a car.

The hatchback had lots of rusted out spots. A trip to the junkyard showed this to be a common problem with this model.

The computer that controls the engine and timing is not working. I found one other matching computer,used, at the junkyard and it was broken too. I'm hoping that when I get a working computer this will solve some of my other problems.

The car keeps blowing engine fuses. I don't know why this is happening yet. A nice feature though is that each time the fuse breaks, the headlights come up and when I put in a new fuse they go back down. It makes a great indicator.

The car stalls once in a while at red lights. However, it starts right back up.

The car began overheating when I tried to drive it out of the county. Unlike other cars, though, it didn't stay overheated. This got me home.

This car was abused and needs a lot of work. However, I think it has great potential. Even with a broken computer it has pick-up!
