Costs
Scrap yards are stuffed with parts. Piece of wee to repair.

On the road
Driving
The original hot (er.. luke warm) hatch. Its not a rocket but driving doesn"t get any more fun... you can keep your TVR!
Performance
Damn fine for an old grandaddy. It"ll hit 60 in around 8 seconds. Tweak it and you"ve got an XR2i slayer.

Living with it
Reliability
OK, not bad. Have a tendency to get broken by their irresponsible owners (who, me?)
Image
Like marmite. Love or hate. I think it looks mean and has great stance and road presence.
Comfort
Hahahahaha.... Better than a skateboard... what did you buy it for dummy?

Security and Service
Security
Quite possibly the easiest cars to get into. If you don"t have an alarm wave goodbye to your stereo.
