This car has been very fun to work on. Engine is very basic but original parts are hard to come by in North America. Found cheaper parts from Autozone which has been very helpful. I have been using it as a daily drive for work & weekend errands (40 miles round trip), and have only needed $20 a week on gas!Apr 06, 2014

I bought one new in 1973. Driving it was a lot of fun. The 4 speed transmission shifted easily and smoothly. The clutch was much lighter and easier to use than American cars of that period. I drove it across the country in the summer of '73 doing 85-90 mph most of the way getting about 30 mpg. With the speed around 60 mph, it got about 36 mpg. The car was very responsive and very easy to handle. I drove it for 128,000 miles and had relatively few repairs to make on it. I loved the way it looked - my friends thought it was cool.
Downside of the car: noisy, particularly at high speeds and the cheap metal of the car did not hold up to northern NY winters - the bottom of the car was falling apart when I sold it in 1981.
I would heartily recommend this car.Feb 28, 2009

Allthough an old car, it was like therapy to take it for a spin. The body was a bit rusty, but it always started at the first crank with the key.Jan 04, 2008
