That's not a bad looking little car. Just what I'll be looking (5spd) when it comes to start teaching the kids to drive in a few more years.

Those were, in my opinion, one of the best looking cars to come out of the late '80s! Beautiful! Since it's manual, the problem of the terrible Chrysler auto-trans for '88-'92 will not be an issue. This would be a great buy, in my opinion!

Kinda an oddball with the TI turbo/5 speed...basically a 2.5 non-intercooled engine...usually the 5 speeds were TII cars, 2.2 intercooled. Nice car regardless

The only other 5-speed car like this I have seen had the Mitsu 2.6 in it; it was a coupe.

JOHN? Would you really subject your kidos to a cluch when they'll never see another one for the rerst of their lives?

Not if it looked like this one (rounded, hidden lights, etc.) No Mitsu 4 cyls from '87-'93 (last year of coupe production, '95 for 'vert). They did offer a very small number of Mitsu 3.0 V6 with the 5 speeds.

I must also add that the 4sp OD transmissions were more of an issue in heavier minivans. Being electronically shifted (the first in the industry) many were "rebuilt" because of simple speed-sensor and solenoid issues. My own LHS went into limp-in mode for a failed speed sensor that I grabbed at a junkyard and installed in 30 mins. Incorrect (i.e., cheaper) fluid after a maintenance service killed a few as well.

It may have been the V6. I know the guy special ordered it because he wanted a manual trans, and it had a Mitsu motor in it.

Probably. Those were practically special order, maybe like 200 +/- made.
