Review
Chr15mas, North West
Pros:
great appearance, seems to improve with age.
Handling is fantastic, including steering, acceleration and braking (makes up for old-school lack of safety devices). Parts easy to get for servicing
Cons:
no airbags, but it was made in 1989, before they invented air!!
Comments:
It's 20 years old now and still going strong with 175,000 miles on the clock!! Great car, economical (40mpg even when driven enthusiastically), Shame they changed the model in 1992, though I hear they got it right again after 2005
