Positive Review

"Sat for 14 years... Ugly little car. Runs great."

Bought this car for $100 after sitting 14 years. Put a battery in and started right up, sounded amazing. Have only had to replace a few parts in the two years I've had it. Replacement engine and transmission a really great price, should the need ever arise. Had a lot of cosmetic issues, but no rust. The car design is ugly to me, but it runs well and is very reliable, unlike my previous experience with fords. I love that it has windows that go up when the car is shut off (non-powered windows FTW! ) Great car, definitely recommended for beginners.

There was one recall and I had to wait two weeks for the part, but other than that I have found the vehicle to be reliable

Sat for 14 years... Ugly little car. Runs great.
Pros

cheap parts; great acceleration; great cornering

Cons

Don't buy this car.

This car is a very old car so don't buy it. When we had it, it had engine problems and one time the door and window fell of. So don't buy this car.

This is a great car, great for beginners
Pros

fun to drive, reliable, durable

Cons

lower fuel mileage, hard to find parts

I had this car from 2003 and it served me well. A few problems here and there, and a little cosmetic damage makes me a little embarrassed to drive it. Still I loved how well it handled in the corners driving through the mountains, and how comfortable it was to ride in. I only had a few problems with it, which was probably due to my lack of knowledge of car care. So even though its ugly I love this car.
