Fun to drive . Reliable +++ . Low cost to run and to maintain . The one I owned (for 7 years) was standard mechanically with improved rear shocks . It was fast ( up to 160 Km /h in high way ) , quick (3rd gear plenty of punch) , the gear shifting deliciously smooth , direction sharp and precise, but sleepery on the rear axle even wirth somewhat larger tyres . Brakes where from the 70s .... I loved it : a delightfull 2 door midnight blue sedan that I unfortunatelly sold to buy a Triumph... It was my first car and as the song says it will be always in my mind Nov 23, 2022

fun to drive, but acceleration on a cold engine was downright dangerous. Sometimes the car would sputter and die when accelerating into traffic. Excellent handling on dry roads, but in snow this car was pathetic. Good reliable transportation for around town, but I never really trusted it much on long high speed drives.Oct 31, 2009

Surprisingly quick, nimble, comfortable seating, very reliable.Low maintanence costs and light on fuel.Small adjustments can bring it to life. Great Handling at 160km/h around a bend on 12" rims. Jun 30, 2008
