You could practically watch it rust - windshield surround and floorboard was gone in two years. It had an aluminum engine block (including cylinder bore) that didn't last so they burned oil, smoked and fouled spark plugs like crazy. You didn't go anywhere without 2 extra quarts of oil and a set of clean spark plugs.
The company car was an automatic with air conditioning and when the air was on it didn't leave much power for the car. If you went up a long hill it would downshift to get up to speed then upshift then would lose speed and downshift again, etc, etc, etc. Total piece of crap.
Edit:
I guess the main problem with the engine was that it had a very inadequage cooling system and the engine would get hot and that caused the soft cylinder bore to wear - particularly in the last cylinder - it had an inline 4 cylinder engine.
