usedvictoria.com/classifieda ad is ended, so may not show up
Some people have been telling me some things about this car and i',m wondering if its true.
Rear wheel drive, which means its awful and snow. Does that means its bad in rain and ice too?
No AC
No stereo
Turns "like a whale" not my words haha
If you have an over all opinion on this car, let me know..
Thanx for the help :

1 rear wheel drive in snow isn't hard just different you learn to keep the tank full and carry some extra weight in the trunk or storage space wagons
2 if you must have a/c on this car your best bet is to buy the non moving bits and pieces from a junker and install a remanufactured compressor, new expansion valve and a new dryer. the hoses are special but may be made up from bulk stock,fittings and crimp shells.
a hand operated shell crimping die is available and not costly.
3 an aftermarket stereo may be inexpensive and are pretty easy to install.
4 if you have love for the car, ipd usa .com can really help in this department sway bars urethanee bushings,lowering springs performance struts and shocks,tower braces and subframe ties.
done as a package these improve the handling to a decent "sports car"state with out a severe ride.
5 these cars may be a whole lot of fun if you're mechanically inclined
they are honest cars without gimmicks and are more than reasonably safe in an accident if seat belts are properly worn
they have a classy look good value never goes out of style
