Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This car has been brilliant. It is a workhorse. It is comfortable to drive and a good driving position. Fuel efficiency is moderate but for the age of the car is quite respectable! Very reliable, has never broken down and insurance is very reasonable. It doesn't seem like an 'old' car at all and is a much smoother ride than some much newer cars. The electric windows still work as does the cigarette lighter! Repairs are cheap and parts are easily accessible. It doesn't have any fancy accessories like Parking sensors or Sat Nav built in but it does do what it says on the tin! Body work is excellentino rust issues at all.. As long as regular Servicing takes place and is looked after this car will run and run and run...the radio is also original and works perfectly,

How reliable do you find the car?

I have had my car for 15 years. No major problems. Usual wear and tear. Very reliable, it a real work horse.. If you look after it, it will look after you!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Excellent build quality, very robust, everything works apart from A/C. Very quiet, ages well.
