You talking a base Omni or Shadow or Reliant? Some POS like that?

They are crude and noisy cars, with thin paint and an ugly bare-bones interior. They become acceptable only with a powerful engine.

It was a Reliant with power everything. The seats are comfy and the fuel economy is good plus it's reliable.

The Chrysler turbos leaked too much oil and were prone to head gasket issues. No thanks.

It was that exact same 200SX, or the later one in the mid-80's? What kind of engine was it?

Same color and everything.

In 101lifts2 defense, an early k-car in mint condition is kinda cool.
especially if it is a woody.

Why? Because survivors are super rare. Why? because they sucked.

Maybe...but during the 80's suckage was the norm and there was no more shame to driving a k-car than driving a Celebrity or tempo.

Actually, I gave my bro a Cavalier wagon of that era, and it was one of the "cockroach cars", you just couldn't fucking kill it.
