FD is very reliable, says CARPOINT!

Check out MSN's CARPOINT, where it evaluates used cars and lists any problems. The FD passes with flying colors, the only listed problem is with 'heating and air conditioning'.

Engine and drivetrain are rated "little or no reported problems".

I'm gussing if you drive it stock and use it to commute, it would be pretty reliable.

Actually, the Carpoint reliability rating thing is usually pretty good for cars produced in large numbers. Their rating system is based on problems that are reported by a network of mechanics around the country. Since there aren't many FD's, and those who do have them either work on them themselves or take them to a specialty shop, nothing gets back to MSN.
