Economy
Value
Fantastic value for money. There is not a better car you can buy for £1000 - £2000, period!!
Costs
Can be a bit thirsty when revved hard. Parts are plentiful and can be found cheap outside of Brunel Ford!

On the road
Driving
A smooth ride with excellent driving position. A pleasure to drive.
Performance
Fast when pushed to high revs, but I can't help feeling that it could be a bit quicker... Travel of gearstick could be less.

Living with it
Reliability
To be fair it has done 138k. Have spent £500 on various parts.
Image
Still looks good compared to modern cars. Much nicer than the Vectra.
Comfort
Once you get the position right it is brilliant, regardless of how tall or short you are.

Security and Service
Security
Nothing 2 speak of.
Service
Brunel Ford tried to blag £2500 out of me!! Took the car to an independent mechanic - he solved the problem for a tenner!!
