I used my 3-cyl automatic 4-door to shop for my cherry 3 cyl 5 sp. coupe. Now, I can fix it up and sell it at a profit. The torque converter on these has no lock-up for the highway. It is still faster than the moving van I arrived here in. I forget how intense traffic is elsewhere. Just being willing to use full throttle seems quite adequate even when I go to the city. I've been getting some "free" miles on the 4-door, and not getting a round tuit for the engine work on the coupe, and just got an offer of an XFI engine and tranny to drop in. Woohoo! They were built in Canada, but never sold here.
