  1. Mine had a 2.2 litre 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed auto and came with terminal rust. I liked it, but it was scrapped after 5 years, because it was so rotten. Overdrive would have been good, but wouldn't have cured the vicious structural corrosion.

  2. I had a flogged-out le Mans, which was a 1.5 auto. It was slow off the mark, but once the revs got up, it was quite spritely. Had it for a year, with it's rattly glovebox lid, then was asked by my landlady if she could buy it for her daughter. I replaced the cambelt as a precaution, and she drove that thing like a lunatic. Finally, she wanted more power, and bought a very sick Honda Civic. Ha! I drove it for yet another year, but I had a new diesel Mazda utility, and so it ended up gathering moss. Finally, I was asked if I'd sell it to a friend of a friend, which I did, on the basis that she could have it for $400, but I had first option to buy it back. Ah, meth-heads. She had it for 18 months, and then both she and the car disappeared, and I have never seen another one. Bummer. It was a pretty crudely finished car, but considering the tiny engine mated to a slush-box, it went well, and was ok to drive. Wonder where it is now? Thanks, Nancy. Lay off the drugs.
