If you top out with car at 110 you can watch the gas gauge go down. If you have never taken this car for a ride on the highway, you will get scared. The car shakes like crazy when getting up to speed It will stop around 65Mph. Its a 1.3L so really what do you expect.Aug 08, 2011

Wasn't to bad until it had a run in with a sign. 37 mpg. Low miles for year around 89k. red in color. random dents on body. This car gave me an appreciation for hatchbacks. Great school and work carAug 24, 2009

Owned this car from the start. Had issues with the manual transmission, got it rebuilt by a hack tranny company, then I installed another from a auto recycler. Since has been running fairy steady. Didn't have to do much more work than put tires and change the oil, besides the Transmission. Good on fuel, still avg, around 40Mpg, did 45Mpg when I first got it. Things are starting to get noisy now, but just needs a little TLC and good to go.May 11, 2009

I hate this car.. was great for the short time it actually ran.. once one thing goes, he rest goes shorty after and you pay more money then it's worth fixing it...Apr 16, 2008

This is my first car. Great gas mileage, runs great, and the interior leaves ample room for modifications.Jun 20, 2007

Wiper arm pivot assembly
I need to locate a Wiper arm pivot assembly that connects the wiper arms to the motor. It is a ball joint unit that connects with a nylon pivot piece. If anyone knows of this piece or the whole wiper unit, please contact me. m.ech@att.net

Domelight replaced with neon light problem...
I recently bought a neon light that plugs into the cigarette lighter, but instead, I cut off the plug from the light and put male-end wire paddles on each exposed wire. I then took the dome light off and replaced it with the neon light, but when I start the car (doors open and all), the neon light does not come on. can anyone help me??? I also need to know where the dome light wires run to, since they do not run to the fusebox, because i plan to re-wire it to a toggle switch i bought. Thanks for the help, Jordan
