No convincing you, so will not argue.But I like the look of these little things, FWD does not matter if the chassis is good, and these actually are pretty reliable - not much to go wrong.

Nonsense.

Nonsense.For the driving this little roadster does, not really. Meagre power, good chassis...FWD can handle that just fine. My short test drive in one did not have me complaining. Buzzy eager little thing that wanted to rotate.Would RWD be better? Sure. Would anyone notice driving it around anywhere but on a track? Not really.

Not really.I slide the a$$ end of my Miata around every chance I get. It's fun, I purposely didn't get super grippy tires just so I could.Can't do donuts in a FWD
Just for fun, I looked at what seems to be the oldest vehicle for sale on Trader:Note: it's a restomod of sorts, but a cool one!https://www.autotrader.ca/a/ford/model%20t/laval/quebec/5_50094488_20200120192656214/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&ursrc=hl&orup=8_9_9&pc=H3C%200G4&sprx=-1
The pricing on the LHS is crazy sauce even with the low mileage.
2001 Chrysler LHS, 25,822 mi, $7980. Still a great looking car, imho.https://www.autolist.com/chrysler-lhs#vin=2C3HC56G41H501227

Still a great looking car, imho.https://www.autolist.com/chrysler-lhs#vin=2C3HC56G41H501227The ad says it has a 3.5 V6. Didn’t these have a 3.2? At least it’s not the 2.7. A friend’s car (Intrepid) turned into a lawn ornament after its 2.7 seized.
Thank you for checking!
^^ interference engine I assume?My dad had the 3.3 in his Intrepid. That was a chain I believe ?
