Seems like the appeal of the subject cars depended on the driver's needs. Two daughters in University studies in the 80s were "assisted" into having used Chev Citations because the lower price and good condition yielded them a lot of driveable miles for the cost. They didn't love the things - not at all stylish compared to what classmates/friends were driving - but they sure liked the dependability, gas mileage, less expensive tires and parts, etc., and the fact that Dad would do the service and repairs.No serious repairs needed. Theirs ran the "Iron Duke" which was one nice development of that series. Upon graduation and first professional jobs, one bought a new Saturn and the other an S10 pickup. Both were good to them.
