The FX-16 was started in 1986, complete with the 16-valve 4A-GE engine.There were just two models, both two-door hatchbacks, called FX16 and FX16 GT-S
The base included
Reclining bucket seats,
Cloth interior,
Carpet,
Folding split rear seat backs,
Console,
Full instrumentation,
and rear deck cover.
while the GT-S added
More aggressive suspension,
Larger tires and rear sway bar,
Power remote outside mirrors,
Leather-wrapped wheel and shifter,
Tilt wheel,
Intermittent wipers,
and Rear window wiper-washer,
along with a rear roof spoiler and other cosmetic touches.
Both came with Eagle GT tires, either a five-speed stick or four-speed manual, four-wheel disc brakes, and the 16 valve engine, but tuned to 108 hp and 96 lb-ft rather than 112 and 97. That was a good-sized engine for a car that weighed in at just 2,350 pounds (five-speed FX16) or, at most, 2,436 pounds (automatic GT-S).
