The easy-to-open liftgate at the rear is counter balanced. So, with a mere touch of the hand, it floats up and open… to over 57cu ft. of cargo space.  The low flat door means easy loading, no high lifting.

Pinto’s thrifty yet peppy 2.3 liter 4-cylinder overhead cam engine is bigger than many of the leading imports, yet it’s rated 34 mpg highway, 24 mpg city. These are EPA estimates with manual transmissions.

Pinto’s precise rack-and-pinion steering makes it easy to steer. Its turning circle is smaller than  VW Rabbit, so Pinto’s easy to park in the tightest spaces.

Pinto’s price includes a dual hydraulic brake system with front disc brakes, floor-mounted 4-speed manual transmission, solid-state ignition, high-mileage 2.3 liter OHC engine, Ford Lifeguard Design Safety Features, and more.
