Guys,
I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times over, so apologies in advance
I'm looking at buying a 89 Hatch 2.3L Auto to daily drive. My Cobra is awesome, but it's expensive to maintain. I've got a 91 GT 5 spd to daily drive right now, I'm getting 20MPG mix city/highway.. So would the 2.3L Auto get much better? And how reliable are the engines? Last a good 200K miles if maintained properly? I've had a stock 5.0 last me 250K before, because I always take good care of them..
So lemme know what yall think.. What's looking best right now is the difference in price between selling my GT and buying the 4 cyl, but it'd be nice to get better gas mileage with just as much reliability.
