Last us 6 years with not too much trouble.
Costs
Cheap but poor on fuel and eats too many clutches.

On the road
Driving
Heavy clutch and steering, scary breaks.
Performance
It can reach 70 just about but thats about it. As slow as a double decker bus.

Living with it
Reliability
Too many stupid issues, weak clutch, weak starter, poor points, poor electrics, poor alternator, gearbox problems etc etc.
