Capable Runner
As a people and stuff hauler, it does quite well, carrying 6 people in relative comfort, and 8 at max. It has enough cargo space and towing capacity to compete with a mid-size SUV, and gets better fuel mileage. Ride and handling are on the poor side of average when compared to mid-size imports from the period. The engine is torquey, but is less powerful than many current I4s making it fairly slow. Reliability has been mixed. When I'm told by Vic enthusiasts that the SEVEN significant repairs (most would cost $500+ to repair professionally) the car needs are all "common" for this model, I begin to wonder what they think "reliable" means. But, the car runs well and gets me where I'm going.
A great workhorse for a family
After our 1989 Dodge Caravan died with a busted block, we purchased this car for our family of four. This car is the ultimate family car. Large bench seats, SMOOTH ride, and dependable to a fault. Over the past 12 years our family has grown to seven and this car was still getting the job done until we purchased an SUV in 2004. Today, "Ethel" our beloved wagon is being prepped to be taken over by my son as his first car.
An All American Classic
Got it from my folks. 146K on the od. this is a beautiful vehicle and runs perfect.
But it needs a new motor
At 98,000 miles the mains are bad on this car. Will need to replace the motor if I keep it. The clear coat is peeling off the hood. The O rings on the air conditioner leaked freon and was expensive to fix. The climate control was expensive to fix. The car always started and run well. The ride is comfortable and handles well. But, the last time I had to make a sudden stop, the back end fish tailed. Until recently, the motor was excellent.
