Other than the powertrain, similar to the Escort GT & Mazda 323, the car is
junk. Built in Australia from unobtainium parts, ie power window switches,
hardware, gages etc. poor quality plastics prone to age & stress cracks,
lots of rattles. All but sale proof when new, came with all of the good
looks of a TR-7 and electrical gremlins to match. I would avoid at all
costs.
