Advantages: petrol seems to last forever in this

Disadvantages: not the extras of the rivals

Although this may not have the features and extras of many of the cars in its class such as electric windows which come as standard on al Fiat Punto's and Air Conditioning which come on some of the others. It has a certain character that the others don't have, despite going slowly, you feel like you are going along at a quite substantial speed. As one of my friends late fathers used to call his the silver Bullet!! Mines a dark green one, with 2 previous owners from new and 80,000 miles on the clock, it will take all my junk (including friends and friends of little brothers, and the little brothers) wherever we want to go, although this obviously isn't the car for doing long motorway cruises in, for around town or a countryside run around its perfect.
The only problem it's ever had is a flat battery from sitting in the garage of the previous owner's widow for 18 months. Since then the only thing that has been changed is a new set of front tyres which have lasted since new. That's near enough 80,000 miles.

Summary: cheap, reliable and cheap to insure
