It handles like a charm, and it's so easy and fun to drive.Īccelerating is sometimes a bit slow, I'd say its 0-60 in about, oh, 4-5 seconds. Oh, and, the rear main seal broke a while back (just causes an oil leak, but it's pretty pricey because they have to take the entire engine out to fix it. This is a hassle, but can be fixed EASILY for about $25 if I just drag my lazy self out to an auto wrecker and get that little door latch that's broken. I have to roll down the window and open it form the outside every time I have to get out. My driver's side door no longer opens from the inside. The starter had to be replaced (which is understandable, it was 16 years old). The material the seats are made of feels cheap, though it has resisted fading and tears. The front bucket seats are uncomfortable for me. I haven't had this checked out yet but I suspect the fuel tank has a pinhole at the top. There is a strong smell of gasoline in the car immediately after fuelling. The tires currently on it are old and need to be replaced, as performance in rain is subpar, with lots of hydroplaning. The car does not roll much when taking sharp turns, and it sticks to almost any road surface. However, the handling at lower speeds is very good. Control is very limited when driving fast. Top speed is theoretically very high (130mph), but in practice the car feels extremely dangerous to drive at any speed over about 70 - it shakes with the wind and feels like the front tires will leave the road. The gas mileage is low for such a small car, about 24mpg, though this is probably my driving and not a fault of the car itself. It has reasonable acceleration, though you have to almost floor it to get it. The car shakes violently if the engine is taken over 2500rpm.Īll speakers in the car blown (not due to overloud music playing) A failure to report any problems inhibits our ability to correct them and puts all responsibility on the receiver.Battery replaced several times - 37000, 38000, 40000.
