| What things have gone wrong with the car? | The seats get unconfortable on long rides. The windshield developed a type of speckles all over it, almost like sandblasting. Oil consumption started at around 130,000. | |
| General comments? | I Purchased this vehicle primarily for commuting back & forth to work, 150 miles round trip. I bought new in 1995 an still drive it. The engine is the 1.8 Liter, 5 Sp. Man. Initially, although I praised this car for its quality and workmanship,i.e great shifter,switches, firm seats,the dash was impeccable at the time, the handling was a little on the soft side but very predictable. The previous car I had was a 91 VW Jetta 5 sp. that instilled spirited driving. This car instead didn't as much. It wasn't until it started accumulating miles that I started to realize that this car's character came in the way of reliability. As of this writing, it has 156,000 miles and it stills starts up every morning. I've only changed the oil every 3500 miles and the battery once, and a timing belt at 85,000 for 150.00 at the dealer, the front brake pads once, and had the brake system fluid changed (bled through) like the VW's.When it come to driving in the snow, there is nothing like it, very stable and predictable. I've had Jeeps follow behind me on snow covered interstates. The only issue that is developing is oil consumption of 1 quart every 1000 miles. To me, this car has earned its respect for its longetivity and mechanical loyalty. | |
