I have a 1990 Turbo convertible automatic as my daily driver for about three years now, and overall I have been very happy with the car. I think it has about 150,000 miles on it (odometer broken of course) and the tranny is good.
Pitfalls:
I average 20 MPG in a city/highway mix, which is pretty normal.
80 MPH on the freeway is about 4,000 RPM, which makes it a bit noisy.
My transmission will "thunk" if it shifts into third (top) gear at light or no throttle. From these forums I gather this is common for that transmission. So I drive around town in second, and if I want top gear I gas it and then bump the gear selector into "D" for a smooth gear change. I am not sure if this is neccesary but it feels better and in my mind it is better for the transmission. If it feel smoother, it is smoother, right?
That is all I really have to say about it, other than that I love the car. Great styling IMO and I like driving it.
