Engine Oil Type Recommendation:
Refer to manual for specific API Service category (e.g., SG or higher) and viscosity grade (e.g., 5W-30 or 10W-30 depending on temperature).
Ignition Type:
Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) or Distributor-based systems depending on engine variant.
Transmission Type 1:
3-speed Automatic Transmission (e.g., A604 Ultradrive for FWD models)
Transmission Type 2:
5-speed Manual Transmission
Automatic Transmission Features:
Electronic control (Ultradrive) on some models, offering adaptive shifting.
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Refer to manual for specific type, likely ATF+3 or equivalent.
Body Styles:
Coupe, Convertible, Sedan
Wheelbase:
Approximately 104.1 inches (2644 mm) for coupes/convertibles, slight variations for sedans.
Curb Weight Range:
Approximately 3,000 - 3,400 lbs (1360 - 1542 kg), depending on body style and options.
Trunk Capacity:
Varies by body style; convertible models will have reduced capacity when the top is stowed.
NHTSA Ratings:
Specific NHTSA ratings for 1991 models are not readily available in a consolidated format, but generally, vehicles of this era had limited safety features compared to modern standards.
Active Safety Features:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) often optional or standard on higher trims.
Passive Safety Features:
Frontal airbags (driver and passenger, often optional on lower trims), seat belts (manual lap and shoulder belts).
Supplemental Restraint System:
Covers airbag system operation, servicing, and replacement.

Factory AM/FM stereo with cassette player, optional premium sound systems with amplifier. Digital display for radio tuning and clock.
Cruise Control:
Standard or optional electronic cruise control system.
Climate Control:
Manual climate control or optional automatic climate control (often referred to as 'Comfort-Ride').
Multiplex Communication:
The manual covers 'Multiplex/Can Communication,' suggesting the presence of early multiplexed electrical systems where multiple functions share a common wire harness, impacting diagnostics.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000 - 7,500 miles (4,800 - 12,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type used (refer to manual for exact specification).
Tune Up Interval:
Spark plug replacement and inspection typically recommended around 30,000 - 60,000 miles (48,000 - 96,000 km).
Timing Belt Replacement:
For engines with timing belts, replacement is critical, typically around 60,000 - 90,000 miles (96,000 - 144,000 km).
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Power Steering Fluid:
Refer to manual, often ATF type fluid or specific power steering fluid.
Coolant Capacity:
Capacity varies by engine and cooling system configuration; manual will provide exact figures.
Common Wear Items:
Suspension components (bushings, ball joints, struts), exhaust system, electronic control module (ECM) failures, power window regulators, and early automatic transmission issues (Ultradrive).
Turbocharger Maintenance:
For turbocharged models, regular oil changes and avoiding hard acceleration immediately after starting are crucial for longevity. Turbocharger actuator and wastegate issues can arise.
Electrical Gremlins:
