Summary:
Nice looking and cheap to own!
Faults:
The lower ball-joints and front bearings had to be changed at 200000km.
Breakdiscs also needed to be changed at 215000km.
General Comments:
The car offers nice comfort and a outstanding automatic transmission (it changes gears just as smooth as it did 100000km`s ago.)
However the car dont handle well inside the city, with small bumps etc it feels a bit "stiff".
After I change the shocks from oil to gas, the car handles more accurant than with original shocks and are more balanced.
