Economy
Value
Very cheap to buy for what you get.
Costs
A lot of niggly things to replace, often expensive parts. Thirsty, too.

On the road
Driving
Wonderfully adjustable chassis. Really steers on the throttle well.
Performance
Not really THAT fast, but sounds and handles beautifully.

Living with it
Reliability
Not broken down yet. Solid engine, but annoying minor faults - electrical, oil leak. But you forgive it anything when you drive it.
Image
3-dr 16v looks pretty good. Wolf in sheep's clothing, few people know fast Tipos exist.
Comfort
Not as hard riding as you might imagine...
