Hi Doug - I have relatives in your neck of the woods (NOTL). Lovely area.

My oldest brother's first brand new car was a 1988 323 hatch, with a manual crank sunroof and 5-speed. (Maybe more correctly it was his second new car, since the first one he bought fell off (!) the lift in the dealership garage while they were doing pre-delivery work. So they ordered him another one.)

What year(s) are your hatchbacks? (He asks, with only his own interests in mind...) I don't suppose one of them happens to have a set of 13 inch alloy rims with the round circle pattern? Somewhat like this style (except this is the RX7 14 inch version, I think):



I've been keeping my eyes open for a set, since they're among the rare 13 inch alloys that will fit the Metro/Firefly bolt pattern.

Feel free to add your daily driver to the "EM Garage" so we can easily find its details, and you can start tracking your fuel economy (if you want).

Anyway, welcome to the site! - Darin.
