Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Blunt to drive, very bad on corners, bumpy. A lot of noise is penetrating the cabin. However, the engine is probably the best part of the car: you feel the torque and it makes the driving experience good on motorways
What's it like to park?
Average. I do not have a problem parking it.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Of course, the car was bought at an auction. I had to invest £900 to repair steering pump, replace tires and break pads, fix the electrical problem. Since then a breaking sensor was replaced and the window door lifting mechanism
What's most practical about your car?
Very good value for money, especially the engine: good torque. Also plenty of space to transport in a boot and in the saloon
