ZX2 Mania
Bought as second vehicle. Low mileage and 3 yrs old. Fun to drive. Good cornering ability, good gas mileage. Cruise control works seamlessly. Wish I had bought one with manual trans though. Automatic labors sometimes under acceleration. Car fits my needs like a glove and looks good doing it. Economical and reliable so far. Love it.
Great first car
I had this car through half of high school and most of college and it’s only had two major problems and I will admit to driving this thing a little rough. The clutch went out a year after I got it, but it wa the original clutch and the previous owner used to race it on the weekends. The other time was just that the battery had last 6 years without replacing. My only problems are that you can barely get $600 for it if it’s in average shape and that the room on the inside is almost nothing. All’s round, I’ve thouroughly enjoyed having this car.

Ok for a 1st car but has problems.
I bought it used with 60k miles on it. It shakes very bad during idle, a lot of electrical problems, wasn't designed very well, battery continues to die for no reason. A good thing is that it is fun to drive when the problems don't overwhelm you.
WOW! What A Beast I Have.
I brought this car basically because I was excited in buying my first car. Anyways since then the car has been like a trusty companion. Every time I think it's gonna give out on me it just keeps kicking. Right now I'm in the 20's as far as mileage and she runs like when i first brought her. Great A to B car.

It shakes wayyy to much in idle. steering wheel clicks when i turn it for sum reason... tires run out of air every two weeks i would never rec amend this car to anyone
