Torque Range: Torque figures varied proportionally with engine size and output. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Fuel injection (Multi-Point Fuel Injection - MPFI or Electronic Fuel Injection - EFI) was standard across the range by this period. Emission Control: Catalytic converters and electronic engine controls for emissions compliance. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Manual transmission (e.g., 5-speed) was often standard on lower trims. Optional Transmission Type: Automatic transmission (e.g., 4-speed automatic) was commonly available as an option. Features Drive Type: Front-wheel drive (FWD) was the predominant configuration. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length Approx: Approximately 175-180 inches, varying slightly by model year and trim. Width Approx: Approximately 67-69 inches. Height Approx: Approximately 54-56 inches. Weights Curb Weight Range: Approximately 2700-3200 lbs, depending on engine and equipment. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings NHTSA Ratings: Specific NHTSA ratings for this model year range are often not readily available in aggregated form, but generally, vehicles of this era received moderate ratings. The manual would provide structural repair information relevant to safety. Active Features ABS: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was available on some higher trims or as an option. Passive Features Airbags: Driver-side airbag became increasingly common and standard on many trims by the early 1990s. Passenger airbags were rare for this period.
