I had a model the same as this a few years ago, and am about to buy another. fantastic car, the ONLY problem I ever had with the last one was a broken fuel gauge!

Were built to last, and do, fantastic 4-pot engine, simple, effective, and deadly reliable.

Note that these models are known to handle kilometers almost no other cars can.

What is a 4-pot engine? Never heard of that? Is that some weird foreign term??

A four pot is the same as a four banger or a four cylinder.
