Hiya, after some reading I bought a 95 1.0l on ebay for 2.4k it's got 116k, had it trucked into Fort Myers from D.C. my mechanic sez the middle cyl only has 100psi the other 2 125psi. What's the spec on compression? It's a 2 door, has 2 airbags and A/C, yea it's a consolaton but were SWELTERING in heat from mid June to mid Oct. Belive it or not while waiting for the 95 to come I found a 92 1.0l on Craigslist just a few miles away for $700. 2 door again no A/C my mechanic tells me it's the BETTER car. LOL it has 116k too. Both are pretty much stock but the 92 has 14" wheels and tires put on by the previous owner. After establishing basline mpg for each I will make changes and compare.
