I thought Typ 32Bs were only sold in North America in Mexico, named as Corsar. Living and learning...

The 3-door didn't really sell, so it only lasted two years. 1.7L 4-cylinder was the first engine, but in 1983 they added a 2.2L 5-cylinder, which was sold in most Quantums. It was the first car I ever drove to 100mph, so I thought it handled well, but I was 17. Our was a top model, so it was pretty posh. My dad went back and forth between large VWs and Mazda 626s as his company car for the most part.
