General Comments:

Bought an 83A Granada for £900 in September 1992, previous car was a 77S Lada Riva which was quite good, but no fun.

The Granada was hardly fun, but it was comfortable, solid and reliable. It gave me a decade of loyal service before I sold it for £25 to a 17-year-old. It was perfect.

I now own a 97R Peugeot 406 1.8 which is a bit flimsy and not as good as the Granada.

The Granada was not the ultimate driving tool, but it gave sterling service for 10 years.
