Was rebuilt, and is in the process of still being completely restored. New engine was put in in 2010, has 30,000 miles on it as of 6/6/14. Miles on speedometer says 97,000 or somewhere around that. New shocks were put on 5/5/14. Most parts on the car are either completely original or brand new. The things that are original, are the only things I have had to fix over the 4 years. The interior is a bit incomplete, it has rubber floor mats, and the seats are dry rotted. The headliner was installed in 2010, and it still looks great. The exterior was freshly painted in 2010. It has a couple dings, ad rusts spots, from everyday wear and tear. the rear deck lid has a little ding and rust spot, where I Backed into someone. The car is beautiful overall, runs great, I drive it on a daily Basis. The tires are only a year old, but only have about 1500 miles on them. This car is manual, 4 cylinder. Runs like a champ. The car has the original stick shift in it, and the running boards seem to be from a 1974 beetle style, but they were put in brand new in 2010. The windshield wipers runs off the spare tire and whatnot. There is a blower motor in it for the heat, which works fabulous once you get the car going! The exhaust was put on new in 2011, but has normal wear and tear. Spark plugs, distributer, points, coil, air filter were all just changed 5/5/14. In the city it gets about 20 mpg, and highway about 30 mpg. I drive it on a daily basis, so I know it is a reliable car.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
2014 Volkswagen XL1 [w/video]
Mon, 11 Mar 2013World's Most Efficient Car Impresses, Not Without Compromises
Among our many duties at the recent Geneva Motor Show, we were offered a pretty exclusive drive in the new Volkswagen XL1 hyper-efficient plug-in diesel hybrid. There is so much that is interesting about a car like this reaching production from a major automaker that it's tough to know where to begin.
First off, you should know that - at least for this generation - there is absolutely no chance in Albuquerque that this "1-liter vehicle" (i.e. a vehicle that can burn just one liter of fuel to travel 100 kilometers, or 62.1 miles) will ever make it into the hands of North American customers. We, too, were having trouble imagining an XL1 in typical American traffic, surrounded by comparatively massive pickups and SUVs. The driving experience had us recalling a couple of weeks in 1999 when we drove the then-revolutionary Honda Insight hybrid on US roads. We keenly remember the feeling of being very small and vulnerable, even as we felt proudly green in our 61-mpg Tochigi pod. Thing is, the Volkswagen is smaller still, and nearly as light despite its more complex drivetrain and safety features.
