Driving it
What's it like to drive?
not too fast, developed flat spots which slowed the car down. rattled quite abit going over 50, felt like it struggled on the motorway

Very bad due to the fact that it didnt have power steering!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. At first it was ok but after a few months there was a burst in the radiator pipe which caused a few problems. the second problem was the head gasket shattering which was expensive to replace! and finally the engine just wouldnt start as there is no pressure in the pistons so is being sold as scrap!
What's most practical about your car?
The lack of power steering gives you a good workout
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Not many to pick from, but most of the options were added by myself, such as CD player and alloy wheels
