Good secondhand buy - solidly built to last.
Costs
Thirsty around town, but capable of high 30s mpg on a run.

On the road
Driving
It's sheer bulk encourages a relaxed approach, no good rushing round corners!
Performance
Deceptively quick if floored! Surprisingly long accelerator pedal travel disguises abilities.
