I have a 1990 PRotege, not a minivan, but I guess I can comment on
durability and quality:

Very poor, would not have expected it of a japanese car (and this one
was actually built in Japan)

Rattles.  Squeaks (memories of vintage 70's Detroit rattletraps)
Interior materials aged supersonically fast and
looked very tired almost immediately.  Paint cheap
and ridiculously thin -- scratches (to the primer coat!) if you touch
it (hardly exaggerating)  THe comment on the paint seems to be
endemic with Mazdas, was just talking the other day with another Mazda owner
and he said the same thing.

I doubt I'll buy a Mazda again.  Buy the Toyota minivan (my previosu car
was a Toyota, solid as a tank)

Oh, I should say the car is nicer than most to drive (certainly way
better than the aforementioned Toyota) and have had
no mechanical problems (save for having to replace the thermostat. . .)

step 3: Hang the ball from the ceiling so that it just touches the center

Now, when you enter the garage with the car, STOP when the ball touches the

Presumably you are in, where? Great Britain?

Yes we have different classes of licenses.  I can drive autos,
and small trucks with two axles or less.  I cannot drive a 
vehicle for hire.

In any case our classes seem more restricted than yours.  The largest
thing I can drive is a recreational Vehicle with two axles and I
think it has to be less than 36' long.  No three axle vehicles I
think.

Driving a manual shift car is a simple matter anyone can learn in 
a very short time.  IMHO, all licensing drivers for manual shift cars
would do is:

	1. Cause a larger bearaucracy in the DMV
	2. Cause larger delays in the DMV
	3. Cost more money, and therefore limit what less fortuante
		people can drive to more expensive auto trannys.
	4. Simply represent one more thing that the government can
		control to save us all from ourselves.

I am opposed to the government interferring with my life unless there
is a clear reason for it.  The safety statistics I am sure would show
that very few if any accidents are caused because of unfamiliarity
with manual transmissions.

I think it would be far better to teach defensive driving techniques
(real ones - how to avoid spins...) to high schoolers and first time
drivers than to spend time and money regulating a type of vehicle 
as common as a manual transimission.

There  is an attitude in this country that you are not responsible
for your actions, that the government is responsible because they
didn't make a law making whatever you were doing illegal.  That
the fact that you didn't remove your baby from the stroller before
folding it up is the manufacturer's fault because they didn't warn
you that your baby could be hurt.

I just don't see any good reason to license drivers for manual
transmissions.  Let's spend our money teaching them to drive.

Oh, oh... And my personal favorite...

When exiting your neighborhood in the morning, roll thru the stop
sign, so you can beat the oncoming traffic. Then, drive at least
10 MPH slower than those now backed up behind you. Even greater
unpleasant effect can by had by tapping the brakes at every curve,
hill crest, intersection, and oncoming car.

Then, as icing on the cake, run the yellow light leading to the
major commuter route, leaving those you slowed down to sit 5 mins.
waiting for the next green.

I don't know what kind of Ford dealership you are
dealing with, but, I guarantee if that was in my area
or my car Ford Head Office would have been notified and
I would have had a new car.  This is rediculous.

If something like this happened in Canada, Ford of Canada
would rectify the problem swiftly.  I have seen it happen.
I would first contact Ford Head Office in the USA and I am
sure that they would do something.  I have owned a Ford
product since 1985 (4 in total) and have had great service
from my dealership.  The questionnaires that are filled
out by new car owners are all looked at and returned to
the dealer and salesmen and are monitored in Canada.
On my first questionnaire I asked several questions and
had them answered.  I also had a call from salesman who
said that he had recieved a copy of my questionnaire and
told me to come in and see him.  I had asked for info on
where to get Ford prodeuct decals for my racing car and
when he recived the questionnaire he had the service dept.
put together a decal package for me.

Now that's service.

As for Japaneese, forget it, but I would seriously consider
taking action against your dealership and if that doesn't
work take legal action.

I hope you don't go running to the Civic just because of one data point.  

Civics are great, but can have problems, too (although the two that I owned

Bought a new 1992 Saab 9000 base hatchback with auto back in April.
After putting in 4,000 miles, I noticed that the brakes are rather sensitive,
as if there are bubbles or gas inside the brake line.  

Does anyone have similar experience with any of these models, 1989 to
1992?  Is this normal, since I'll be taking in for 5,000 mile checkup?
My old 900S' brakes (non-ABS) are fine.

The company is called "Sevens & Elans" and is located near Boston.
The address (or at least a phone number) can be found in any issue
of Hemmings Motor News at the End of the Lotus section
(see "L cars for sale").

There is a long article reviewing the new Caterham 7 HPC (High
Performance Course -- required before Caterham will sell you one in
England) in the December 1991 issue of Sports Car International.
The article lists the address of "Sevens & Elans".

Prices for the car are around $20k, sans engine.

Engine choices run from ~$3000 - ~$10,000 depending on power
($10k gets you about 200hp, making the 7 faster than almost anything
this side of an F40 to get to 60mph).

I think that they're just to clear the strut towers.  The entire 3000GT gives
me the impression of a car that was not too well-thought-out in the details
before it was actually built.  Look at how much plastic crap had to be added
on the turbo AWD model to make it stable at (admittedly excellent) speed.  Or
is that garbage there just for looks?  I doubt the scoops are for ram air;
with a turbo you have about all the air pressure you need, I would think.
Another point:  Why on earth did that car come out so heavy?  If I remember
correctly, the fully loaded turbo AWD model weighs in at close to 4000 lbs!
Compare that to the RX7, which is able to keep up with a good bit less power
because it weighs so much less.  BTW, just how much DOES the RX7 weigh?  I
can't remember exactly.

I have to add here, the 3000GT has a nice shape, excluding the fact that it's
about a foot too wide and two or three feet too long, but the spoilers, skirts,
and bubbles just ruin it.

You want taller, skinnier tires to get to the pavement.  Big wide tires
will just ride up on top of the snow.  I'd suggest new tires  AND wheels.
Use something like a 70 or 78 series tire on 14 or 15 inch wheels.
I think you'll want something like a 185-70 on 15's or even better
would be 175-78 on 14's..but you'll need a chart to find the 
proper offset wheel, and appropiate tires to get the same
diameter so your speedometer will be accurate.  It's expensive, but
cheaper than an accident.

It's odd how as I get older, the days are longer, but the years are shorter!
