I bought the car (Electric Blue
Metallic) with dealer installed ground-
effects, alloy rims and dark tinting.
It looked sleek and sexy. It was a very
good performer. I got it up to about
130 in the Utah desert while on a 7
month tour I took right after I bought
it.
I only rated it 8 for performance
because of the 135 hp engine, still it
was agile and glued to the … road.
But it had one fatal problem...the
TIMING Belt broke 3 times. The first
time I was idling so I just replaced it
and drove away, the second time I put
in a new engine, and the 3rd time I
gave it to my gear-head brother. Except
for the timing belt a great car.
