I used to own 94 esi...i sold it to my friend. he is still driving it and still working fine...one click start..no problem with idling..still smooth.
as one member posted, esi roof is prone to rust. thats the bad part of it.
but if you can get a good condition esi...i think it will be great...good power, ride. my esi had 3rd breaklight standard..but no rear defogger. i bought that optional cup holder..nice car overall.
