And plenty of repair bills. Those things aren't very reliable, and expensive to repair.

Nice ride for under 10K. I thought they were pretty reliable. Get 200,000+ miles out of them.

can anyone over 5'3 actually sit in that thing comfortably?

every time i see someone drive one of those, it just looks so cramped, even if they are driving alone..

max is the way to go... for 8 grand, u can get a 95-96 with some options and less then 80k miles.
