Economy
Value
COST ME TEN GRAND A YEAR AGO (2004) AND NOW IT'S WORTH 8 AND A WEE BIT(PRIVATE SALE PRICE) - LESS DEPRIECIATION THAN BUYING A NEW FOCUS OR SIMILAR!
Costs
HAVEN'T SPENT A PENNY ON IT OTHER THAN PETROL. IT'S GOING IN FOR IT'S MOT SOON BUT I AM SURE IT WILL FLY THROUGH.

On the road
Driving
LOVELY SMOOTH RIDE, GOOD TORQUE THROUGH ALL THE GEARS , CAN SPIN THE FRONT WHEELS WITH THE POWER DELIVERED. NOT TOO GREAT ON THE CORNERS - QUIET AT SPEED AS CABRIOLETS GO.
Performance
GREAT PERFORMER , SMOOTH AND NICE TO DRIVE , NOT A LOT OF SCUTTLE SHAKE ON THESE CABS EITHER , ELECTRIC HOOD IS A JOY!

Living with it
Reliability

Image
A MODERN CLASSIC YOU MIGHT SAY ! - ESPECIALLY HIGH SPEC ONES - ON THE DOWN SIDE I HAVE SEEN ONE OR TWO OLD 94 MODELS KICKING AROUND WITH HIDEOUS AFTER MARKET ALLOYS AND BOY RACER TYPE AT THE WHEEL OF A 1.8 / GO FOR THE 2.6 OR 2.8.
Comfort
COMFY IN THE FRONT - TIGHT IN THE BACK.
