Pros:
One of the best handling cars Ive ever driven. Absolutely glued to the road.
Brakes are amazing. Almost 12" rotors on this car with ABS is phenomonal.
Nice feeling/shifting 6 speed gearbox
Decent power (about 180hp with minimal mods).
Even with 103K miles, I still get 25-28mpg city, and a shade over 30 on the highway.
Roomy.

Cons:
Hatch creeks in cold weather.
Quirky. Little problems here and there that are a little annoying (ie bad t-stat housing o-ring, etc).
Rides pretty rough, but I expected that.
Runs on Premium fuel only.

Great pics Steve-o...what kind of camera are you using?

Two more reviews coming up!

Here are my other two cars.

1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

Best Features:
- Big a real full-sized car. Roomy interior and trunk.
- Big and powerful 472-cu. in. engine. Plenty of torque (rated at 525 lbs-ft).
- Exclusive 133" wheelbase.
- Thick and plush leather seats.
- Lots of chrome.
- Big grille (and it's not plastic); stylish taillights.
- Rear footrest and reading lights.
- Real wood trim inside.
- Big-car ride.
- Reliable, well-built.

Least Favorite Features:

- Fuel mileage

1966 Plymouth Fury VIP

- The 1960s American car "feel."
- 383-4 bbl engine... plenty of power and torque, minimal emissions equipment.
- Engine is easy to do modifications.
- The Torqueflite automatic transmission.
- Reliable and rugged.
- Easy to work on- great for do-it-yourself people. Engine compartment is almost large enough to stand in!
- Plush interior, speedometer, dashboard.

Least Favorite Features:

- Fuel mileage, but some of it is my fault. I use the power a lot.
- Being a 40+ year-old car, some things are going to wear out.
