What's it like to drive?

Nippy for the 1.1 engine but slow at top end. gets to 40 quick enough then tends to just stay there for a while. its very responsive due to having no power steering.

So small you could touch the car behind lol. but an absolute nightmare to park in small space due to there being no power steering. so heavy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I put a new rear silencer on it, drivers rear suspension shock. damage to door and wing due to snapped door strap ( common prob) door opens to much without it air blowers do not work (another common prob) and window washers didnt work. fixed connector under the engine.

What's most practical about your car?

Cheap and cheerful, nice sounding engine. its an old car so i can park it anywhere and not worry about it.
