Does it have a timing belt? If so, how often does the manual reccommend changing? My girlfriend is considering buying one of these. Thanks!!

Replying to: mikebutkus (May 04, 2009 2:22 pm) i agree however until recently the chain needed to tun and overhead valve motor were noisy and not reliable to for years belts were used the issue aries with the interference part in order to get these cars to run clean the cam over lap needs to be in a way that the engine winds up being interference its a double edge sword but if you get 4-5 years and have to spend 400 to change the belt that s not so bad
