Great sound. My Dad used to drive one as a Polish government car back in 2005. 2.4 5 cylinder engine with a 5-spd manual. The interior featured blue velour along with brown wooden trim. I remember there was also a custom aftermarket radio station mounted exclusively in the government-owned units.

Cool story! I heard from a polish friend that the they were used as gov. vehicles in Poland which is very cool. I can attest from being a driver and backseat passanger that these are very ggod to drive and ride. Wonderful cars.
