I got a great deat, it's being delivered tomorrow. I always wanted a small sports car, and I miss driving a stick. Over the years I've always denied myself, now I'm 74 and said WTF. Anybody familiar with them?

(5,834 posts)Yes very niche car, w only 65k make ever, but 2006 had almost 20,000 made. Congratulations, I hope it is in good shape and treats you well.

(108 posts)I've owned a few Saturns and the engine is or is based off the ecotec. I had some issues with burning oil in my first ecotec, but the 2nd one ran great. The weakness of the Saturns was the automatic transmission so getting it in manual alleviates the biggest problem. Just keep the fluids changed and enjoy.

I have a '71 TR6, but sometimes I'd like the conveniences of power windows, A/C, and comfort that a new car provides. Let's see a pic.
