Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Quite a few things went wrong but it was due to age. I changed he silencer. I sold it when the AC compressor went since I have been fixing quite a few things that needed chaging because they were old. But I think it is a very good car. The engine is sound as well; it always start and it never stopped on the road once.
What's most practical about your car?
Boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control and automatic control. Boot is also fairly large.
