Was a swap for my broken 306, which i couldnt afford to have fixed.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

a go-kart! a very entertaining drive, if you want to thrash the life from it. If you don't, its easy to drive, and actually quite pleasant. I regularly get 120mph on a good hill on the motorway, is crazy. Will comfortably do 90mph, depends how hard you drive it.

What's it like to park?

Doddle

Have you had any problems with the car?

Generally reliable, k series engine should keep marching on. Fan belt replacement, new distributor cap, was stolen. Had to replace steering column and ignition as a result which was simple after a scrap yard visit.

What's most practical about your car?

Theres more practical in almost every area. Is reasonably cheap, insurance isn't as low as it should be. Some reviews say no one will steal it! not true, its ridiculously easy to get into, virtually no security. Back seats and boot more or less redundant.
