General comments?

We bought the car four years ago while we were living in Cornwall, and have found him very reliable and comfortable.

We have travelled all over the country from Cornwall all the way to Scotland, and most recently to Normandy in France.

Just to say that we have still got the car and have since driven to France four times and back and is used for everyday transport, generally extremely reliable. The parts that we have replaced are tyres, bulbs, spark plugs. I drive it quite hard as being a 1.4 litre you have to put your foot down in City traffic to keep up. It is now 18 years old now and still running smoothly. I'd say it will last two more years. It has covered 80,000 miles approximately as the milometer packed up some years ago. But at least everything else still works. Still owned up to 7/12/02.
