Advantages: Easy to work on

Disadvantages: Sloooooow!!!!

I owned an F reg 1.0 Samurai, as my first car and had relatively no complaints apart from the lack of speed, they're painstakingly slow, be warned!! Good for a young driver or learner because you can't drive fast! The speedo doesn't go past 90mph and the cruising speed is a heart stopping 57mph so don't go near motorways, it just isn't worth thinking about !! Great around town, nippy and reasonably small. Not very comfortable and the noise on the 4x4 tyre can get loud. The soft-top looks the business in the summer, but people like slashing the plastic windows and security doesn't exist!! It's very easy to drive (slowly!) and easy to work on, lots of space and not at all complicated, i've seen harder jigsaws!! For engine parts it uses the same engine as a Bedford Rascal as these are more common. Watch out for the rust though, bad cases in the joins of the wheel arches, and all the floor especially the footwells. Generally quite a nice motor but quite hard to find a good one!!
