Cause otherwise, most cars in the late 80's seem to have been gearing more towards bigger, heavier cars. <br /><a href="http://www.aamcocolorado.com/services/total-car-care/brakes/" rel="nofollow">Brakes</a>Jakabockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519570205533041018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-25289632246421580382011-08-16T18:39:36.790-07:002011-08-16T18:39:36.790-07:00This car has made 5 series vehicles from 1973 up t...This car has made 5 series vehicles from 1973 up to 1999.

It has a "P" chassis code which places it in the same line as (and marks it as the halfway point between) the Publica and the Yaris.<br /><br />-The US only got this as a 3-door hatch, elsewhere there was a 5-door and a wagon.<br /><br />-54 MPG on the old EPA test. Pre-1986 EPA highway numbers were notoriously high. Steady 55 MPH, a/c off (if equipped- most cars in this class in the northern states weren't), ideal temp and load conditions. I'm not sure but I think id didn't even include a single acceleration phase.nlpnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925589671848667697noreply@blogger.com
