god performance for such a small/affordable car. great build quality for the era. super reliable. this car simply WILL NOT DIE! there are several little things wrong but nothing really worth spending a lot of money to fix. actually very fun to drive. We have had this car for 5 years and have not had to replace anything more than regular maintenance and a few cheap fixes.

After sitting idle for 3 months of a very cold winter - the day it left the driveway it started on the first turnover. Nearly brought tears to my eyes. It never let me down. And flew like hell.
Drives amazingly well in snow... Very smooth ride... Handles extremely well for an older car... Top is automatic and easy to use... Very few problems...
I like how it has a quick pickup and that the styling of it is nice and sleek looking and interior design is pretty much open to custom work. A very fun car to drive. Its cheap on gas and cheap on insurance.
