Rare model this.. friend had one and it managed to be both pretty juicy as well as quite slow, haha. But if you got it cheap then it'll be an awesome car to smoke around in for a while.
Cheers,

Followed one of these a few weeks back. Looked to be driven by the stereotypical retiree that bought it new, it was spotless.

Our neighbour had one and used it for towing his big caravan but it was useless so he swapped for passat diesel, but I was impressed when first saw his.
