You won't find a better car ANYWHERE for that price!

Driving
Not as bad as its image suggests. Almost good, in fact.
Performance
Nice big engine with lots of low down power.

Living with it
Reliability
We bought it 10 years old. After 6 years, all that needed doing was a couple of bulbs and one fuse - that's after 160,000 miles.

Comfort
It's not LIKE sitting in a sofa - it IS sitting in a sofa... HUGE comfy seats!
