I once owned one of these! did me fine until I tried to drive round a rounderbout covered in derv and water..... The police wouldn't belive it was me in the car at the time because I was not only alive but un hurt! sadly the car looked like a banana as I wrapped it round a steel lampost drivers door took impact!
I was very reliable, crused ok on motorway fine! quite fuel effient for its time! I enjoyed it back then! I did have a RS when the need for speed hit! but that was normally hidden away as car crime back then was a BIG problem!
