I got into an accident this winter with one.

It got towed away on a flatbed.
My jeep had a scratch on the bumper.

well i figured that would prolly happen in an accident......g/f's lil brother is lookin at one for a comuter back and fourth from monroe to lima ohio......just wondering how they run and if anyone knew any bads/goods on them

it looks like its the same size of a miata.....are they on the same basic frame setup....or should i say unibody.....

I had a friend that had one awhile back. They run forever and are real reliable. I see more broads driving them than anybody else. Kind of a girls car.

I'm pretty sure they aren't interference engines, so a broken timing belt won't destroy the engine, but they still need to be changed every 60k. Not cheap and kind of a pain in the ass. Unfortunately a lot of jap cars are like that.

the only thing i found wrong with it was the sunroof motor was jacked up....the clutch didn't start to engage until the pedal was halfway down but engaged fully....or at least enough for it to shift smoothly when it was to the floor.....seemed like a nice car just wanting oppinions....

I drove a company one for a few months. Ran good, never had any trouble with it....it was just a bit too small for me.

does it have the 1.8L v6?

does it have the 1.8L v6?

I thought they had the 2.5 v6? either way, I'd buy it. But, I like strange jap cars.
