How it scores for you10 scores
Balance over brawn — one of the purest, cheapest rear-drive handling tools of its era, if you accept 200 hp, a stark cabin, and token rear seats.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 4 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted +3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 39% of cars we track.
6.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 20% of other coupes we track.
Token rear seats best used folded; front space is adequate.
Sublime balance, quick steering, and momentum-car purity; 200 hp is the point, not the problem.
A basic Pioneer head unit and little else; no driver aids.
Stiff ride, road noise, and thin seats; tolerable as a daily only for the committed.
Typical resale value for a coupe.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
