Economy
Value
Search carefully for excellent value for money. Lots of overpriced rubbish about.
Costs
As expected at this age, little niggly problems build up.

On the road
Driving
This is what driving is all about. Arguably bettered only by the legendary 1.9 GTi.
Performance
For its time, incredible. A giant-killing 1580cc sohc engine.

Living with it
Reliability
Niggling problems. Niggling problems. Niggling problems.
Image
Future (current?) classic. Pamper this baby as she came before her time.
Comfort
Excellent seats absorb those rattles which anger the ears.

Security and Service
Security
My gran could nick this if she wanted to. Add an alarm to supplement the immobiliser perhaps?
Service
Never had to deal with manufacturer. There are plenty of cheaper independent outlets that can meet your every need.
