Review

Bought car new in 1991 to drive to work. Good acceleration, great handling, interior space is limited but what do you expect? MPG are in the low twenties but depends on how hard you drive it. No rust. The only problem is the struts to the hatchback, after two pair I use a broom. Its not like I use it for a truck.

Favorite Features

Handling

Suggested Improvements

Should manufacture them again.

With a curb weight of around 2300, a 2litre motor makes this car go fast. Add some performance into the suspension, and this car will go fast around the bends too. Fun to drive and unique, avoid the automatic tranny to keep it real.

Favorite Features

OBD-I, easy to work on, ballanced motor.

Suggested Improvements

Put your first improvement dollars into the suspension.

Had this car for a little over a year now and it's been nothing but fun and reliable. Aside from the Ttop seals leaking, this machine is SOLID. Super fast city car. If a quick commute across the city at 80-90km/h is what you're in for, consider this about as necessary as any modern sport compact. Only majors needed since purchase were fuel pump and struts. Handles like my old 914 at high speeds! Good luck fitting anyone in the back. If you're 6', don't bother. It's a clipper ship in a bottle. New rims(17's), tires, chip it, exhaust and stereo = blow 95civis off the road. o_O

Favorite Features

Accel, handling, tops, folding backseat ^_^, lots of aftermarket engine parts for this. Mileage is insane. 2 weeks commuting, 1 tank.

Suggested Improvements

Engine could really be easier to dive into. Interior degrades after 14 years lol. Gaskets and weak fuel pump.

Bought this car for my son a couple years ago, and since he has left I have been driving it. I did not pay much for it, and other than clutches, (2 in 55,000 miles, while being driven by a ticket magnet) it has been quite reliable. With the top off on a twisty mountain road, it is more fun than just about anything I have driven. Both fast and quick. Radio sucks, lots of the plastic is really starting to look bad, but for 2300 bucks, what do you want?

Favorite Features

Acceleration and handling, t-top

Suggested Improvements

Radio/speakers, clutch

Handling is first rate; this is a 2+1/2 passenger go-cart. Performance is pretty contemporary, 0-60 in 6.8 seconds if you can afford a new clutch every year and 7.4 seconds for the rest of us. Expect to get about 20 mpg in the city, 28mpg in mixed driving. The car is very pleasant to drive at highway speeds. Engine noise is muted and the car tracks beautifully. Seats are comfortable for two; consider the back seat for small kids only. Plenty of cargo room with the seat folded. Interior fabrics are look cheap and wear quickly. Radio stinks.

Favorite Features

Steering response, handling, straight line stabilty, shifter, acceleration.

Suggested Improvements

A/C needs more capacity to handle all the glass area on a sunny day. Standard radio (there were no options)needs improvement. Dealer service has been unforgivably incompetent. Must have A/S or snow tires in winter
