[QUOTE="Steve@Tasca, post: 14251061, member: 155656"] My SVT has been my daily for ten years now, from -40 degrees to 100+ and it's never let me down once, best car I've ever owned and it's still fun to drive after all these years. That said, they are quirky cars and require a very hands on owner to keep them in top form. Do not expect to buy one and just drive it and ignore it, it's not an economy car either so expect low to mid 20s in town and upper 20s to low 30s on the freeway. It's also an interference engine so the timing belt has to be done about every nine years or 90k miles whichever comes first, if the one you're looking at does not have documentation as to when the last belt change was done you should plan on having it done immediately. I don't mean to be a downer but I love these little cars and I hate to see people buy them expecting something else and next thing you know the car is resold or is getting parted out for some ridiculous reason. -Steve [/QUOTE]
