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

In their own words

This is one of the best cars I have owned being fun to drive and easy to park. The boot is big enough for a family shop. The body work is in great condition. It looks quite dated now, fuel economy is not the greatest and tax is £225 a year. However, it is a simple, bullet proof engine, without fancy sensors etc to go wrong. I have had over 12 months of trouble free motoring and it has been very reliable on cold frosty mornings. The car was recommended to me by a mechanic who said that they were known for their reliability. If you are on the look out for a run around, cheap buy to get you about - I would consider looking at one of these, mine has been great.

How reliable do you find the car?

I have owned this car for a year, flew through the MOT with just a tyre to replace.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

This car is fun to drive, nippy about town and equally happy on the dual carriageway. It is easy to park.
