just bought a 2000 DX 1.6 5-speed after my taurus's tranny went bad - about a month ago. been driving tauruses for the last 10 years, so this thing is a blast even though it's a 1.6. it's nice to be driving a fun car again.

might even buy another one...

welcome to the forums, congrats on your purchase, it is a fun car as long as u don't expect a lot of power from it. Handling is great, gas mileage, and can even look good. If you have any questions I'm sure someone has the answer here.

Happy Browsing

I'm finding the power perfectly adequate, and the handling surprisingly nimble.
