My mom had a '78 Horizon. They had VW 1.7L motors/trans. When I was in college, I had an '80 Omni and an '81 Omni, both, also with the 1.7L VW motor.

I also had a Mercury Sable that looked pretty much like this one. I believe it was a 1988 or 89. It was a total piece of junk. Can't believe I paid money for it. My BIL, who was and still is a car dealer, talked me out of buying a late 80s Nissan Maxima for this POS. His logic: the Nissan has 70k on the clock, by the time you pay it off it will have well over 100k. Hmmm, just saw a similar Maxima last week and it was still going strong. Bad choice

^those taurus/sables^ were horrible. We never owned one, and there was a reason.
