General comments?
This was my granddads car. He drove like a manic, but kept the car in the garage most of the time.
This is the most inexpensive car you can have. A true workhorse.
Easy to get parts.
Easy to repair. You can do most things yourself.
Change the oil every 5000 and it will run forever.
And it handles great. Responsive engine and good gearbox.
Mine is a hatchback model with 5 doors. Lots of space. Most people are surprised.
