well i have a 92 astina. Its great car, but nevertheless it does have its pros and cons.
pros:
good boot space
nice looker
tough engine
good top end pickup 80kmph - 160kmph
good on fuel RM50 = 400-450km (city)
firm suspension
cons:
wear and tear due to age
insufficient leg room for back seat
low rear roof (tend to hit your head if tall)
a little cramp
sluggish pickup 0 - 80kmph
suspension too short tend to bottom out

Spend $$ Maintain it well and it will take you far

use stock b62e engine. just make sure service every 5k, flush engine every 10k, change gear oil, petrol filter and flush radiator every 30k. All money money money$$$. so poor already.

ps. yes she's my little old virgin

Well you are talking about a 13 to 14 year old car. Of course there is wear and tear but with most car this age maintainence plays a big role. Me having no big problems with the headlight just the plastic bracket is loose. fuel pump leak , radiator leak top block gasket leak, drive shaft bearing. All standard wear

Wonderful Little Car, Love it to Max.... Very Very Zippy.....

But like all nifty fav toys, it needs loads of TLC so far no regrets...
