I had a Chevette with the Isuzu diesel. Loved and hated it. It was a death trap with the worst brakes in the world. It got 45+ mpg all the time! Sold it to an old guy who was driving one and had 3 more at home!

I remember him saying the motor and transmission combo in this little car would last forever and the motor was a marine diesel Isuzu has been using for decades.

Oh ya, it had 380k on the odometer and ran like it was new, that is if you could ignore the rattles and squeeks from the body!
