Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Costs
Used as a Taxi, cheap parts. Tends to run through front tyres pretty often. Also anti-roll bar bushes tend to go after about 20K miles. Pretty good on petrol even as a taxi.

On the road
Driving
Nice enough to drive, even now with 140K on the clock.
Performance
Not a speedy car. Adequate enough around town, even with four passengers plus driver. Likes 5th gear.
