Loved her until the accident.
Pros

Soer fun to drive

Stylish, people were always offering to buy her, until the accident. She's an antique and if I could find the body parts, I would enter her into car shows. Interior seats and roof need reupholstering, but she is still my girl. Wish there were parts but may have to let her go... memories

Great car, still purring along.
Pros

Reliable, smooth ride, great throaty purr

Cons

No CD player

I drove it for 16 years, had the original battery in it. Did the brakes twice and the exhaust system once, those were the only major expenses. It went into storage for four years until my grandson turned 16, now he has it out on the road and its purring for him too. V6 engine, smooth power. He did put a new battery in and new tires, brakes, but it passed all the emission tests with flying colors. Great little car.

Still Running!
Pros

Great looking design

Cons

Bumpy ride

Super little old thing! I had a 1994 and still have the 1995. It's a bit of a bumpy rough ride, but that's OK. Unfortunately, since I live in Illinois with all the winter road salt, the underside is rusting out. Just recently had to replace rusted out break line. I wish I could find some replacements for wore out things such as sun visors and cargo cover. I certainly got my money's worth out of this car. People still check out my car and ask, "What is it"?!!

What a great little car!!
Pros

Good value-lasted 12 years before any major probs.

Cons

Seatbelts had issues - but dealer fixed.

This car has gotten me up hills and through storms that was affecting other high profile cars. She had no major mechanical problems until after she hit 100K miles and even then it was my fault for not noticing earlier. The seats are comfortable, the trunk is HUGE and the maneuverability is vast. If I had the chance to get another one, I sure would.
