In all honesty it is one of the best all around cars you can buy, and cheap too! The acceleration is not bad for what it is, the teams is fantastic!! I beat on mine all the time and if you do nessesitys to maintain it will hold up forever! Mine has 220,000 miles and runs strong, only repairs are on the clutch and breaks, very solid, pretty safe is you drive normally, surprisingly hard to flip! Reliable fun, relatively safe and 25+ mpg!!

I sincerely love this car, I have been driving her for many years and my parents bought her at 24000 miles. It's bare bones, manual locks, manual windows, four cylinder engine and five speed manual. My parents bought her after she had been bounced around from dealership to dealership around the US. The only repairs I have had to do is two new clutches and one total transmission rebuild, and wear and tear things on it and she now has 218000 and is still running strong. I learned to drive on this car and I now drive her every day for school in the harsh winters of Idaho (which I didn't have to do back home in WA). I don't look forward to the day it costs more to fix her than she is worth because it has been a great car for me and my parents. My mom drove her everyday to work and got awesome gas mileage in stop and go traffic and I continue to get the same. I have added a new stereo with Bluetooth and USB and AUX for ease of travel when going in between WA and ID but other wise she is still pretty stock in accessories. I have taken her scouting for deer and elk because I am a hunter and she has never skipped a beat, I have driven her in 8 inches of snow and boy does the manual transmission and BFG All Terrain KO2's do awesome. This is a hard car for me to beat it has been reliable every time I've needed it and will forever be my favorite car.

I bought brand new - still driving it 16 years later. Had the usual wear and tear breakdowns but overall happy with my truck and hope it can last me a few more years
