I've had an 1992 RV6 since new. Which my dad bought, still as new, only 130,000kms. We've never had real dramas with it - except refurbishing the aircon compressor, and it still blows ice on a 40deg day. You may also notice that the rear suspension tends to sag in all these cars, but aftermarket struts fixed this for us. Has never overheated. Top car! Biggest downfall is its heavy on juice around town, but thats to be expected when compared to newer cars. Have never had a Import one so cant really make a comparison. I think the key to getting one of these as with any car is to get one with a decent service history. L.
