Good Points

The only good point is the fact that if you buy 1 it will become a collector car, one day as it was astounding at the time of it release. and it also looked good for a convertible and you can pick one up for a low price in very good condition. and handles well for a convertible.


Bad Points

The worst part about this car it will go wrong 9.5/10 times due to the old EFI engine. The engine is renowned for consistent faults. Even when I had to rebuild mine I even got an engineers report, and let them strip it down to tell me there was nothing wrong with it. But after much money spent and time wasted I figured the only thing to do was sell it. The problems was like a line in a multi flavored pez dispenser for every new flavor a new problem existed and drives you insane.


General Comments

So to buy 1 I would say yes to buying one, only if your brave enough to spend a fortune on doing the new proclaimed zetec engine conversion which I would highly recommended for a car like this plus would make the car easy to maintain.
