sure about that?Remember the Fiat Spyder two seater of the late 70's? Typically Italian. Beautiful car, but......."Electricity? What's electricity?"
Fix It Again, Tony
I've always thought that if Toyota would have brought out a two seater rag top Corolla they'd have owned that market forever.
Well Toyota did produce 3 generations of MR2 from 1984 to 2007 that sold quite well throughout the worldRemember the Fiat Spyder two seater of the late 70's? Typically Italian. Beautiful car, but......."Electricity? What's electricity?"

...and it didn't leak oil, too!I wanted a Miata. Factory new Triumph TR-4As with a/c, working heater and a five year/50,000 mile warranty are unavailable. Of course it was to be painted BRG.
I still remembering following one of those through a local town. Not racing him or anything. On the way to the laundramat, actually.Well Toyota did produce 3 generations of MR2 from 1984 to 2007 that sold quite well throughout the world
I made alot of Money changing the small coolant hose on Mister 2's, you have to remove the engine to replace it, the dealers wanted around 1800.00 USD's for just that hose change. I would do them over a weekend and charge the owner $1000 USD's. and change all the hoses for that price.
You might mean Sunbird. One son had one of those. Had to remove most of the top bits off the engine to change the battery. I've always said, I hope there is a Pontiac Hell where when the designers pass on they go there and have to take out and replace the battery for eternity.There was a GM design that Chevrolet and Pontiac sold under different badges. I think one of them was the "Sunfire". To change the rear spark plugs, the car had to be put on a lift and the engine dropped.
Early third generation GM F-body cars had an issue as mentioned.You might mean Sunbird. One son had one of those. Had to remove most of the top bits off the engine to change the battery.

The Chevy version was the last incarnation of the Cavalier.There was a GM design that Chevrolet and Pontiac sold under different badges. I think one of them was the "Sunfire". To change the rear spark plugs, the car had to be put on a lift and the engine dropped.
Getting access around the engine is a common problem for mid-engined cars whether they be designed by Toyota, or Lotus, Ferrari, Lamborghini or Noble (low production British models using Ford V6 power). It becomes especially so if the engine is then mounted transversely. Just not much room left to work in.Must have been designed by a Brit - you know "The right way, the wrong way, and the British way."
WOT old chap, you want ease of routine maintenance. Wot a novel idea. Now let me see how I can make that oil filter unchangeable without removing parts.
