  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Front suspension is pretty worn resulting in a fair amount of body roll in corners. Despite the problems with the stalling it's still not a bad car to drive. Engine is still good.

    What's it like to park?

    Not to bad. Better visibility than the newer models anyway.

  • Living with it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Periodically prone to the revs going crazy, it then stalls if you don't compensate by running some gas through it. Heater and air con only work on the full on setting. Rear door handles stick.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It's a decent size for passengers and luggage.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Um...it has a pen holder.
