Manual 4-speed 1.5 liter sips gasoline. +20 dollars fills the tank. And you can get 300 miles per tank of gas. avg over 30+ mpg highway Only 3 Owners including me.
-The Bad
-Transmission fluid needs changing, and front bearings. Check tire rods, brakes, functional but they wear out from time to time. No AC or radio. Could use some newer tires all around soon. Driver’s side door handle only opens from inside as spring handle is worn out, key entry on passenger side only. Back hatch is loose and needs a new latch and alignment. Has some leaks here and there, oil, gaskets, radiator, doesn’t affect running, driving function. Could use a tune-up and to tighten some things.
~The Ugly
Some crimps and dents on body, rust here and there. Hatch Fin 3rd brake light removed. Sun damage on console and vinyl upholstery (underneath high quality heavy duty tweed seat covers). Driver side window is off track. You might want to add spoilers or lower profile tires for looks, I took off the OEM plastic rain guards from undercarriage, I still have them, will include.
*****
Summary
This is a great car, runs good, reliable when I need it. She has been good to me, few problems and easy to maintain. I wish I had more time, money and energy to put into, but I need something bigger. This car has been a champ from Florida to California all the way to Seattle and back (see the pictures). Engine purrs. Plenty of life left for the right buyer. See NADA Auto Guide this will be priced Low to Average Retail. Daily Driver and Classic Car.
