I like the car but I have had numerous problems. It has had fuel pump and gas tank problems, crankshaft sensor issues, vacuum hose breaks, electrical problems, and starter problems. Headlights are not good for several reasons,weak, lens fog or etches from the inside and appear hard to replace with stronger bulb. During the rusty fuel pump time, had to replace platinum plugs after only about 10,000 miles. Transmission fluid become dirty quickly after change and shifting could be much better. Had to replace one of the battery cable wires. Hood release failed to work and cable extremely difficult to remove.
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.
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.

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.
poor front end
