If I'm not mistaken (you have the 24V DOHC with variable induction, right?), this is the infamous "sludge motor" that got such a nasty self-destruction reputation a few years ago Thanks Steve.. thats some interesting information. I believe that your right about the 24V DOHC, but I am not sure about the variable induction. It is a just a BLAST to drive on the freeway as it does spin quite nicely to about 6.5 on the ol' tach. I bought this car used but with only 12,000 on the clock I did get a good deal for 14,500. I was able to tell that it did come from a rental place, but I am not sure which one though. It does have all the little "service" stickers on the inside of the drivers door. The latest one is telling me that it needs to be done at 15,000 miles. So, I know that it was serviced properly, or atleast I hope it was! I think I will change the oil and will put a good quality synthetic in it...just to be safe! Thanks again!
