Sticks like super glue to any road surface!

Absolutely stonking! Still not a cosworth, but sheer fun nonetheless :)

Living with it
Reliability
Very good. Holds together well and is fairly bulletproof, if taken care of regularly.
Image
Bit dated by modern standards, but unmistakable looks.
Comfort
Exceptionally comfy seats, front and rear. Added lumbar support too.

Security and Service
Security
Locks on the Mk1s are better than those of the Mk2.
Service
Only go near them for parts.
