Yes they do. I have 190K on my 97. Never had any problems other than front struts, belts, brake pads and battery. They are great little cars. Like Az I get 35 mpg.

I'm actually 'Nv' Tumbleweed now but I don't think I can change my screen name, can I?

I've seen a lot of tumbleweeds in Arizona, not too many in Nevada. Why do you want to change your screen name? It's where you live, Right? I'd change mine to something like--2 dumb 2 know better--now that i've been here for 4 years and 3 months. I keep thinking I'm going to get burned out, but never do.
I've seen a lot of knowledgeable people who went that route. Don't get burned out Az.

The back springs were getting weak on my old 93 years ago so I levelled her out with 155/80 on the front and 175 on the rear HAHA
THEN..sometime later.. if you can believe this..COMPLETELY totally unrelated. I went to my cottage and noticed BAD gas mileage.. by the odometer. I didn't pay that much attention..until later I began to notice that the odometer was reading 25% low haha. From then on until I sold it the odometer read 25% low..speedo was correct.
Maybe my little car THOUGHT it had rwd and since I put bigger tires on it thought it would affect the odometer haha
