Yup... the body was heavy but still fast if you tune up engine very good job... I did went over 110 MPH on hwy and seem not shaking very much.
Nice choice....bought my daughter 1996/1.9 last year....did a full top end and all other maint....12k/12 months maintenance free....they're really nice cars.

The Greatest Purchase I Ever Made
I had an '89 Escort Pony for a while, automatic, no power steering and falling apart at 72k miles. I sold it when I got my first Festiva running. Probably the smartest car decision I ever made.

Good to know. Though at 175k, my Vulcan is probably past it's time, and the AX4N tranny is on borrowed time.
