all in all, after buying my 97 hatch. i think its a peice of sh*t. it is 5spd, but no power steering is a b*tch late at night when you hardly have the energy to move. not to mention having to manually roll down the windows, lock the doors, and occasionally adjust your mirrors because some punk was messin with them its all good, with a lot of time and money i will grow to love this car. aight, peace.
