It is the only car I ever bought brand new. Picked it up with 000006 miles on her. She now has 291,423. Engine, transmission (outside of replacing the clutch at 150k) is flawless.

I just put coilovers on it and that lowered it by 1.5 inches. Looks and rides great. Some of the original suspension components like ball joints and what not need to be replaced and I’ll do that soon.

Its got some dings along the way and after 15 years some parts of the paint are fading. I’ll get it repainted this coming spring/summer.

It is a really fun car to drive. 2.0L 4 cylinder
V-Tech, 6 speed manual. Red lines near 9,000 and the power band is above 5,000 which is when the V-Tech starts working. Terrific engine tone.

Great car. I’ll never get rid of it!
Ugh.....sounds divine with that 9K red line. High revving momentum cars are damn fun to drive.
