I have to admit the 87 300D I had was a blast to drive. It had lots of power and got good mpg's as well. The only other good things about it was the cruise and A/C worked. Everything else about it was a POS. It wasn't a good example and was pretty much falling apart when I got it. It probably wasn't very well maintained in its late life.
It was a PITA to work on. It sounded terrible when starting it up after it sat a few hours. It ran hot in traffic or going up hills.It's electronics were a nightmare. Maybe if I had a better example to start with I would have a better opinion of it.
