Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It slides around corners and doesnt handle in bad weather, but for a 1000cc it has some poke even with a slipping clutch. Comfort isnt great, but having done 7000 miles in 4 months it is reliable.
What's it like to park?
No power steering can be a pain, but with so many dents you dont worry about where you park it.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing yet, but clutch is going. Something to be expected on a car of this age and with 67000 on the clock.
What's most practical about your car?
Side opening door ideal for getting a buggy and a Border Collie in it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
You dont get any on these.
