This car was purchased solely with the intent to become my daily driver as a result of gas prices skyrocketing. My truck was costing me more than $100/week just to commute to work and there was no end in sight for the escalating prices. This car not only cut my gas costs, but it is also much more fun to drive and easier to manuever in parking.

The 30+ mpg fuel consumption made it well worth it as fuel prices soared, but the car remains a blast to drive and this engine feels considerably faster than either of my previous B13s. Over the course of my ownership, the car was very low maintenance and served me very well for over a year and 13000 miles. It is, without a doubt, the best FWD I've ever owned...

In the end, on my birthday as I was leaving from work, the car started with a miss. It never stopped and appears to have lost cylinder #2. I replaced the spark plug in the hope that it would be a simple fix and also did some spark plug wire testing to see if that may be the case, but neither of those provided any answers. It still runs and drives fine, but it's way down on power and the engine lopes at idle. The car isn't worth doing any major repairs and I've just acquired a new car (this has been up for sale for a while), so I'm just going to have to let it go for cheap now...
