Yes, I own a an '88 Fox. I obtained in 2004 with 14,470 miles on it. That
was not a miss print. It still had three of the original tires on it.

The Fox is a great little car. Simple to fix. Many parts are unique to it
such as exhaust, radiator and front brakes. Only 4 speeds were available, no
automatics. Strange since I am sure a Dasher or Audi fox tranny will bolt
in. With weight of the engine way in front it is great in snow.

Hey Rob.

I've heard good things, generally, about the Fox. IIRC, and not to
start any more rumours about him, but Dennis of the Haynes variety had
made mention of them in the past. In fact, he may own one or have
owned one.

Here's a website with some info.
