Hi guys, I am somewhat of a new member, I have been watching the forums for over a year but i usually don't end up posting much. However i am constructing a paper for one of my courses and need a little assistance.

My paper will be a consumer report comparing three vehicles from the late 1980's. These include the Merkur xr4ti, the mazda mx6 gt and the nissan 240sx. The report will be short yet have vital information for anyone in the market for these cars.

So what i need is a short interview/questionnaire completed by an owner of each of these cars if possible. Simply send me a message if your interested, and what vehicle you own or have previously owned.

Thanks a lot guys

John

The only model year that overlaps all three of these vehicles is 1989.
Merkur xr4ti '85 to '89
Mazda MX-6 GT '88 to '92
Nissan 240sx '89 to '94

Thanks for the responses guys. I realize that the vehicles are slightly newer and older than each other, however I am simply doing a comparison of what i see as fun cars of that era.

Thanks John

I remember the 240 had ads that used the Batman theme song. That got my attention, but I couldn't afford any sort of new car back then.

Where the hell is CelicaHalfTrac? I'm pretty sure he's owned most, if not all of those, and I know for sure he has that Mx6 right now. In fact, he told me he blew a coolant hose in it on the way to work.

I'd like to send a huge thank you to 92Celicahalftrac for his tremendous writeup on the ownership of these vehicles. It's making a huge impact and the report is taking shape. Thanks to everyone who responded as well.

Thanks GRM John M.

If you want to write about really fun 80's cars, change one to the MR2!
