Fantastic - cost me £50 8 years ago and has treated me well.

No major expense. Nothing complex to go wrong really.

Reliability
Cold/damp starting is a major problem and it has tantrums most mornings when starting up. Sometimes fails to start completely although a jump start or push normally works - failing that, get the bus! The car is a jem once warmed up though.
