Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good, solid, workaday car for money.

Parts expensive. 35+mpg if not thrashed on the motorway!

On the road
Driving
Firm ride. Lack of power steering on a heavy car a big disadvantage.
Performance
1.3 acceleration slow: it's a 'solid' car! Fine at steady 70 on motorway.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Needs TLC, but will last if looked after.
Image
Not relevant for a car this age, surely!
Comfort
Sunroof basic but useful, seats okay with lots of adjustment available.

No one would steal a car this age and type, I suspect!
