Depends on each persons car.

My 93 : 10 EASY
My 88 : I was lucky if I could get it running long enough to get it out of the driveway sometimes. So I would give it a 3

had my ignition box crap out once (msd6a)
and when I first put in the electric fan I still had the stock alternator and it killed the battery so much the car shut off when I was driving.

other than that it is the most reliable vehicle I have owned.

I give it an 11

My 93 is 10X's more reliable that my 2000 Intrepid. In my Intrepid I already replaced the motor, had tranny problems, heat broke and ALL FOUR door lock actuators are broke.
