General comments?
This car has cost me what I paid for it, again in repairs, approx 5 to NZ$6000 (US$3000) over 4 years.
Engine very coarse and noisy, however enough power for around town.
Rides well and seats four people with room to spare.
Fifth gear very high, with quiet cruising at 100kms but little power available.
