used mine for 9 years, was fine. They are more reliable when used every day, as u are forced to maintain it properly instead of trying to make it faster.

use mine everyday, no real probs, nothing that wouldn't happen on anything else on the road...... fuel not too bad, but does depend on how you drive it, thrash it, you can see th fuel gauge going down, go dteady and its very reasonable....
