General Comments:

This car was great! I bought it for $700NZD and never let me down. I used it daily for a 240km round trip to and from work, as well as a few 500km trips around the country.

Very comfortable, and quite well appointed for a 1983, having electric windows, power steering and electric sunroof.

Very enjoyable car, which I really regret selling.

The only thing that was odd, was the rear seat folded up rather down, so the only way to get a flat loading rear was to remove the rear seat altogether.

Fuel economy was good, at around 30mpg mixed town and open road.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
