Only problems in 165,000 miles: faint digital clock readout, factory replacement of computer, and intake gasket had to be replaced. I am not a fast driver, and get 42 MPG with my 5-speed transmission on the hiway! Will probably keep this car for the rest of my life, as it has crank-up windows, and all new cars have electric windows, which I hate. I still have original brakes! This car is very easy on brakes, due to its light weight.
