    Diesel 1st gen!

    Might be an engine swap worth doing if gas prices keep going up.

          Yeah, it's a 1.7L. I doubt that it's turbocharged.

            Yeah, but who cares.........steering wheel and pedals are still on the wrong side.

                              Some of the little turbo diesel cars run pretty fast... depends on the configuration but it could be reasonably good. I just wouldn't want my car sounding like a little pussy semi.
