Had one that was almost the exact same as this up until 3 months ago, had a dove grey interior and was stick! first car i ever bought and first manual too. At 215k miles it was dead reliable and i drove multiple 300 mile trips comfortably. Could've just kept driving it and keeping up with maintenance and it probably wouldve lasted another 75k miles minimum but I wanted a truck so i sold it. Theyre wonderful cars and you can find some good deals on well maintained examples if you look hard enough; mine was only $3,200!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. How is this for a daily driver in the East Coast ( in the winter months). Curious to know how she starts in the morning after being out in the cold. I’ve always wanted one of these and plan on finding one in the next few months. Any advice?
It starts up great in the cold! I usually let it warm up for a little bit before driving and then it drives great. It does leave something to be desired in snow and ice because it’s RWD so it loses traction a little easier than other cars, and if you have any elevation change it might get rough. This can be mitigated with a good set of winter tires but it’s still not perfect.
