    Good decision. I look on these small wagons as good daily commute transportation only. Not really good to haul much, or to go for a nice Sunday drive.

    Were this a 4-speed car, I'd have been on this one! The automatic is reliable, but with that engine, defines the term "road slug"!!! Zero to 60 in a day or so. Top end - around 75-80 mph. I drove a '77 Colt with automatic round trip once from Telluride, Colorado to Van Nuys, California in 1978, and that was not a lot of fun with an automatic and no a/c!

    The A/C would have slowed it down even more. Cutting out a sunroof practically eliminates the need for A/C

    As someone who lives in a place where A/C is a mandatory item, the sunroof idea is not a player as a substitute for air.

    Neat wagon, but I would rather have a manual.
