"For £500 I couldn't have been happier"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Serviced on 31/5/02.

Mild rust forming on rear wheel arch.

General comments?

From the first moment I test drove this car, I knew I just had to buy it.

The engine sounds fantastic, and revs cleanly to 7000 RPM.

There is plenty of room for 5 occupants and all of there luggage in the enormous boot.

Down sides are higher costs of parts, and an average of 30mpg, but that's not too bad for a 160 HP car.

I had a 1992 1.9 Mi16 and unfortunately had a lot go wrong with it, but it was a lovely car to drive and the handling was fantastic for it's size. I'm now in the process of sticking the engine into a 309 GTI.

For a 15 year used car the MI16 has held up well. Has a few rattles. At 100,5000 miles it drives, rides, handles, most importantly get up to speed in a quite brisk manner. Took it to a dragstrip once e.t. 14.56@97 m.p.h. Old American muscle car grounds. Plus you don't see them here in Texas.
