Great car for learners or P-platers, a quick little car (for those who can drive it
properly).
the 1.8l (18LE) engine is virtually bullet proof, i had problems with small things
like clutch cable and engine mount bolts (easily fixed).
the stock interior is quite comfortable, finding one with the roof lining intact is
difficult.
If you put bigger wheels on it (i had 15"x 195), the handling is quite good.
parts are easy to find and maintenance is easy.
aftermarket parts are hard to find though.
the FWD layout makes it a nippy car to attack corners with.Apr 08, 2012

1.6L TBI very good on gas. Snappy acceleration. Handles well in turns, ez to park.GREAT winter car- BIG heat, sure footed with snow tires. Manual is a plus in winter. T tops are fun- give sporty appearance- but tend to leak if gaskets arent maintained properly.Aug 01, 2011

Performance: Felt faster than it probably was. But it still could be quick if you floored it.
Build Quality: After 21 years on the road, it still did not have one squeak or rattle in the cabin. However, the paint had faded terribly,some rust has appeared, and it has a small variety of minor and major mechanical problems. It is a tough car, just a little unreliable
Appearance: Despite dire paint fade, rust, and wear, it was quite attractive (for its time) inside and out. It could have been much better now if it had been kept properly
Cost of ownership: Poor. Heavy fuel consumption for a car of its size (12l/100km is routine if in traffic or driven quickly, and never less than 10l/100 even if driven ultra-carefully) and costs of frequent repairs (A$1,000 in one year).
Fun factor: Fast, responsive, and has good handling. Always a pleasure to drive. Oct 08, 2009

accelerates way over expection.....too fast for a small engine, braking is amazing like its running brimbo....handles well with new tyres....beautiful shape, beats every other hatch around it, runs a bit heavy on fuel, expensive to maintain...but a good day to day car for me..i love itJul 22, 2009

My car has been under the knife for a long time, still isnt done. Im currently rebuilding the motor after it let go. 170,000 miles and boost will do that to stock bottom ends, plus revving her to 9,000RPM didnt help.
