Review

I owned this car as my first and second car. First off it was a very nice car for the 300 I payed for it. But it was always needing to be fixed, but it was never anything major. It also leaked fluids too much. Good for a first car or if your not making enough to afford a real car. Side Note: Fluid leaks are normal for this car. get used to checking fluids and buy a PIG mat to throw under engine when you park it.

Favorite Features

Great Gas milege, It can hit a large tree and keep running (dont ask). Parts were cheap and easy to find. Part installation was easy enough to do manually, Very cheap car.

Suggested Improvements

Car had heating problems in summertime. steering kept going out of alignment, replced a total of 5 balljoint/control arms and 2 CV shafts in the 2 years I owned the cars. Both cars suffered from leaks.
