Welcome to drive the debate

Reliable in the extreem. Solid. No draughts despite its age. Nice colour (dark green). Simple no unnecessary gagets! Group three insurance.

Rear tailgate has rusted. No power steering. Gobbles petrol if you put your foot down.

I think of my car as a reliable friend, always there when needed, never scary, cheap to run most of the time. Only if you are in a hurry or you "get off" (get a life guys and gals!) on speeding does it start to get thirsty. The biggest problem I have with it is parking because of the lack of power steering. Basically if you want a car that goes from A to B with minimum fuss at a cheap price and you have muscles to heave the steering wheel occasionally you can,t go wrong. If you want excitment or an ego trip don,t even look.
