However, some mention the car's less appealing aesthetics and lack of speed as drawbacks."
I love this car even though its small its still roomy, there are no bolt on performance parts so everything is custom. and after 24 years of heavy driving it still runs great. All and all I love this car.
November 18, 2010its small, easy to park, relatively cheap on gas, fun to drive just a neat little car to skoot around town in, or in an emergency go cross country. Mine has been from Denver to Birmingham 2 times and only needed gas and oil change.
April 23, 2010drive mine to death in all weather and "road" conditions.(no problems tacklling off road conditions too). it loves mud, snow, slush, sand, gravel and even small trees :) it goes everywhere and costs next to nothing to run. even repairs, though few and far between, are very inexpensive. it handles well, has gobs of low end power and isn't too bad on the higher end either. If you have the chance check one out...it may not have such a fancy shell but the soul of this car seems to be immortal.

January 9, 2008Awesome college ride, "waggin" wagon. Serious bump and thump. Miss that car big time...
March 1, 2008this car is really good on gas and does not take much to work on it is comparable to working on a go cart. i would say if you have one you should try to keep it up the best that you can it is worth that they last forever.
November 7, 2009It was the first real car I owned. it was not fast but it got me were I needed to go. big dislike takeing it off a cliff and wrapping it around a tree. but it was fun and handled corners beautifully.
