Over-heating, leaking, oil burning POS if there ever was one.
BTW, if you had one and it ran forever without any problems, please let me know. I always wondered who got "the good one".

Agreed.. but that was only in the southern states. Up north, the Vega motor would run forever, but the body was rusting before it left the factory. I remember living in Ohio and seeing 2 year old Vegas with rust holes in them. (And my father worked that the GM plant where they were built)
There was a rather ingenious gypsy trucker who lived near me. He would go buy all the Vega engines in the junkyard and haul them to a southern state and sell them to another junkyard there. That junkyard would put them in the good Vega chassis that they had with blown motors, and resell the cars.
