It is a four cylinder with power assisted brakes and steering. It also has the "performance" suspension package and an air-conditioner. On a recent 2,000 + mile trip he averaged better than 32MPG while using the air-conditioner constantly. It is a true five passenger car with a decent sized trunk. It is one of the few mid to compact cars in the world I can sit up straight in. You should see the amazing things I have to do to sit in my 79 Rabbit. (Toyotas and Datsuns aren't any better in this regard) The car's handling is terrific; it makes my Rabbit look like the top heavy slug that it is. The performance suspension is definitely worth it. He has had numerous mechanical problems, including a very serious and general transmission failure. In summary I'd say the car is potentially great, but its current production execution is not so good.
