Costs
Not great on petrol.

On the road
Driving
Handles well if pushed thanks to long wheelbase, but feels slower than it is.
Performance
Feels slower than it is. Poorish acceleration up to 40 mph due to size, and high gearing of the lower gears.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Starts every time.
Image
Typical early 90s Japanese - nothing special, but not ugly.

Quiet engine, smooth ride, good seats.
