Overall:

Doesn't Like Speed Humps — Cheap classic. Great little run about, good fun to drive, easy to work on and extremely tail happy. If you were to purchase one ensure that it's in great condition.

Pros: Cheap, reliable transport.

Cons: Getting a bit old.

It's The Honda Accord Of Our Age By Aaron

It's a perfectly reasonable car. Goes fast when you want it too, uses less gas when you want that. Back seat is big enough so the kids don't complain. Just wish it were a bit less bland. I used to... Read More
