Nineties Econobox Challenge. *revisions and reviewing*
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2016 8:34 am
Hey everyone, this will be a cheap car contest from the early 90's, it will ideally feature cars like the ford fiesta and Suzuki swift but the rules are open enough to allow variation.
The rules are.
Years of car trim and engine variant allowed 1988-1993, (families can be older)
Fuel economy: minimum 40 mpg (us) ("regular" 87aki/91ron)
Seating: minimum of 3
Safety: minimum of 30
Emissions (in the car tab): maximum of 400
Reliability (in the car tab): minimum of 60
Market price(suggested): $12,000@5% profit, market year will be 1993.
Number of cars per day(detailed stats): minimum of 250 @ the default factory size "medium 2"
The scoring is going to be non formula based, ratings will be given in short descriptive reviews in the style of a auto magazine shootout like this.

I will be looking at acceleration, braking, suspension setups, service costs, market affordability, gearing, engine characteristics and finally they will be subjected to a track or two to observe their behavior at speed. The intended market is bargain basement entry level economy cars, the lowest rung of transport that still has 4 wheels.
Please name your car family and engine family, the first and third tabs,
