Worth repeating: NOT AN AUTO 900!!!...

I owned an auto C900, and the tranny was a piece of heavy doo-doo. I spent most of my time fixing that part of the car, constantly. And I'm not the only one: seems to be the common problem on these cars.
Other than that, I also owned a NG900, and although that was a more refined, faster, and better performing car, I still preferred the C900 more. Mainly because the C900 was easier to work on and while driving it, you actually felt like you were part of the vehicle (I should be a salesman, huh?).
Anyway, now that I have my '98 9K, I found the C900 to be easier to work on, though the engine being mounted backwards was always an obstacle. The 9K isn't so bad either, it's just much more complex.
Go for the C900 convertible (as long as it's a stick). It's a unique, classic design that still turns heads today!
