    Great to keep and maintain. Cheap but reliable.

    A cheaper drive is hard to find! Uses about 5 litres on a 100 km, insurance and maintenance is cheap.

    Drives well on the straight, but corners like a bus.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A 150 km/hr with a 1.1 is super. Due to 4 speed gear box acceleration is fast up to a 100 km/hr.
