I had one for 2 years, put about 30-40K miles on it.
It was a GREAT car, practical, comfortable, easy to drive. mine was a 5 speed, and was very slow, Im not sure if the automatic would be a good idea. The water pump is not "weak", its just difficult to replace. Mine was replaced once in 200K+ miles. Other than that it was normal 900 issues... balljoints, front calipers, some electrical issues which were more annoying than serious. Engine, trans, power steering all leaked a LOT, but gave no problems. I drove the car on many long trips, kept its cool in hot NC summers much better than my 1991. I would definately still be driving it had it not rusted. Only let me down once, when the alternator died. I was sad to see it go.
