my mother and an ex owned camiras bec they were so cheap. the 1.8E is very economical, I do remember the earlier JD? model could do 120kmh flat out but the 1.8 E could sit on that speed,

its american design, so american quality, The "J car" was meant to be the platform for pontiac and other cars all over the world and in aust was the camira, hence models JD etc. The same engine went in the little daewoos years later.
