[net.auto] Citation

My father owns a Citation. It is a four cylinder with power assisted
brakes and steering. It also has the "performance" suspension package
and an air-conditioner. On a recent 2,000 + mile trip he averaged better
than 32MPG while using the air-conditioner constantly.
It is a true five passenger car with a decent sized trunk. It is one of
the few mid to compact cars in the world I can sit up straight in. You
should see the amazing things I have to do to sit in my 79 Rabbit. 
(Toyotas and Datsuns aren't any better in this regard)
The car's handling is terrific; it makes my Rabbit look like the top
heavy slug that it is. The performance suspension is definitely worth it.
He has had numerous mechanical problems, including a very serious and
general transmission failure.
In summary I'd say the car is potentially great, but its current production
execution is not so good.

Rabbits are top heavy slugs?  What do you keep on your roof?
