Since it may not be deemed so practical for an all-around use, due to the limited internal space, it may be seen more as a fancy toy than as a practical commuter. Anyway, in my country even the Corolla is considered a luxury vehicle.

I think he's been with them for a year or so. I really hope his experience with chrysler is limited...I don't know much about him, and all I have found is with Elio.

I never thought it was actual factory operations that kept sinking Detroit.
Of course, I never thought it was tellers that brought down the banks, soldiers who turned Iraq into what it is today or my daughter's pencil that spelled two words wrong on her test last week, so what do I know?

Ask what the bolt pattern of the wheels are. How much will it weigh? What the gear ratios will be, (hopefully a tall 5th gear). Could you use 0w20 oil instead of 5w20? What the recommended stock tire pressure will be.
