Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
This is as basic as basic you can get for a car. No frills or thrills. I bought the car used in May 2013. The dealer claimed the engine is a replacement. Automatic transmission is nice is the city, but i miss the sporty feel of having a manual transmission. I have plans for it, but money and patience will dictate when things happen. I've had several types of smaller cars including different years of Honda, 1984 Subaru GL, 1996 Subaru Legacy, 2005 Dodge Neon, 1979 VW Rabbit, plus some other randoms. I can honestly say this is my favorite small car next to the 1982 Honda Accord LX hatchback I owned in the early 1990's. It is a good little car with a sound engine and great gas mileage on the freeway. The heater is a little weak though.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Used replacement engine, standard 4 cylinder.
Suspension Modifications:
None
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Basic
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Basic
Future Modifications:
I want to exchange the automatic for a 5 speed manual. Fix the dents and scrapes and repaint midnight blue metallic. Aftermarket wheels, shocks, and brakes. As far as interior, just a nice stereo and update the interior with new upholstery.
