Topaz I had this car for 6 years. Overall I should say it's a good reliable car. Can't talk about on performance on this car as it's only 98 horse power with a in-line 4 2.3 engine. The most impressive thing for this car is the sur-round sound system. Can't imagine there is a factory built sub-woofer in a mid size sedan. Why pay for the premium for imports if you can have everything for a domestic sedan. Compare to my friends japanese cars. This car relatively has a lower maintenance cost. (a rebuilt alternator only cost me less than CAD 100 vesus over CAD 250 for one fit in a 1991 Toyota Camry. Too bad all Topaz are getting old. Perhaps we should go for Contour for replacement car.

Pros — Great sound system, 12KM/L on highway, Cheap to run, smooth shifting
Cons — 3 speed automatic transmission
