I am considering buying a 1983 or 1984 Chevrolet Citation
or Pontiac Pheonix 4-door hatchback with a V6 engine.
Consumer Reports and similar publications recommend
avoiding these cars due to poor reliability.
However, I really like their size, the hatchback style,
and the availability of the V6 engine.
Due to their poor "ratings", the prices of these cars are
rather low.

I would be interested in hearing from people who own X-cars.
How bad are they ?
Ignoring the reliability issue, are you generally satisfied
with the comfort and performance ?
Any special problems ?

I will summarize the results in net.auto.
