zips beautifully
I bought this car as a senior in high school, it was economical and had great gas mileage. I havnt had problems with it until recently- the battery has lost ability to charge a few times, fan belt keeps snapping, and the Air Conditioner refuses to get fixed. I love the handling and the rougher ride- I feel like i'm in a tire commercial on a winding road. Acceleration is decent, I have the auto trans. but would have preferred a manual. Turning is easy at high speeds, it likes to hug the road and zips around heavy SUV's like its nothing. This is the only car i've been sentimental about- I dont know why. Its a great car for new/young drivers.
Great cheap car
I bought this car for $500 it was stolen. It needed a clutch and cv's and a door hand and ignition lock cylinder. For $1000 total invested this thing is awsome. It is extremely fun to drive (I rally it on the way to work!) No torque steer. it actually handles like a rear wheel rive slight oversteer, which is fun I can get the rear to slide in corners like a rear drive. All this and it gets a consistant 30mpg. The only problem is that I am 6'4" and I have to duck to see stop lights. Extremely economical car. After fixing the initial parts I havent had a problem. 160000 miles on it now and it doesn't use any oil, smoke or leak anything.
Best car ever
This is the best car that I ever had!!!! Bought it in 1999 kept it til 2014. The car was 22 yrs old, 250,000 miles and still running like a pro. I had to get rid of it because a truck hit 2x, then knocked it into the interstate walls 2x. All of these hits occurred during one single car accident on the interstate. The crazy part is that when the car finally came to a halt after being knocked around IT WAS STILL RUNNING. That make was one hell of a car!!!!!!!! It was very reliable, and never had any problems out of it at all.

I have 120,000 miles on mine and have not had any mechanical problems at all! It's been an outstanding car and extremely fun to drive. I would not hestitate to recommend this car to others.
Great little car
I bought this car used in 1993 with 24,000 miles on it. I'm still driving it and I've put 150,000 miles on it myself. GREAT GAS MILEAGE - I still get around 33 mpg on the interstate, and that's going around 75 mph with the A/C running wide open. Very nice design; I love the way it handles in the curves and the fact that I've got storage space in the hatch. Repair costs can be high ($500 for a distributor assembly) but once it's fixed, it stays fixed.
