Actually, the later 80's to the 1990 model were the best, as is typical for an end-run vehicle who's had all it's bugs worked out. The early cars w/ VW engines were terrible - the 2.2 motors were the best, and tended to run forever - or until you neglected them enough.. THEN they'd blow a head gasket. After '88 they were fuel injected - which cured a lot of ills. IMO: They were the American "Beetle" .. you could drive them forever, if you serviced them regularly. I loved my '88 !

They are NOT Rabbits. The 1978 Omni/Horizon had a VW engine because the engine originally designed for the car wasn't ready for the rollout. They do share the design with the Simca, but Omni/Horizons were built in the USA. I had two of them, 1978 and 1990.

Oh Yeah...Those Bonneville's were Good cars....and Yea I Have been Taking Good care of My Car...In Spring once I start driving it ...since I don't drive it IN winter I will be changing the Oil/Tranny Fluid...Last Owner didn't change the Tranny Fluid for 4-5 years....But The auto tranny is fine...Iam changing it as soon spring comes though! ....It has been Looked after...That's One reason Why Its Probably Lasted this Long ..I Plan on Maintaining it and Just driving it...I Love it..Turns heads to!

@jakesaintsrow123 : LOL - beleive it or not, I bought a 1987 Pontiac Bonneville .. i was in a panic to get a car to drive to work. That turned out to be a good car, too. Not as thrifty as the Omni, though. As long as you carefully maintain your 1.7 motor, it'll do okay. Maintenance is the key!  But the 2.2 motors were practically bullet-proof.

Why Not? ...Oh BTW I still have my 1978 Horizon...LOVE IT...

[jakesaintsrow123]

Oh Yeah.....And YES they got GREAT MPG.....I LOVE Mine ...Mine is a 78 though...I have Had good Luck with it though....it's been a Great car...From what I hear the 1.l7 was terrible....Glad to Hear your story on your Horizon :D ...Say....what did you get after It was stolen....Sadly..

@jakesaintsrow123 : No, Jakes - I bought mine as a 2 y.o. used car as I was moving into the city and needed something small to park. I was in love with it for the entire time I had it for what it was: practical, easy to scoot around in, and phenominal mpg's. (you could pee in the tank, and it'd still run! I swear, they were that easy to own.) Sadly, it was stolen in Feb. of 1993, and I never saw it again.

@MikePYaDig : um.. dude, other than a plastic nameplate and blacked-out grille up front, they were the exact same car. Your statement makes no sense.
