Picked one up for £400 with a blown engine. Bought a new engine for £250 and fitted it myself. Bargains available.
Costs
Good on fuel. Can be expensive if something goes wrong.

Good handling. Nice smooth ride. Power there when needed.

Very good for a 1.6 8v, surprisingly quick. Have surprised a few boy racers! Often puts a smile on my face!
