Characterful styling, peppy engines, fun to drive, lots of equipment, holds value well.
Jiggly ride, high servicing and insurance costs, build quality not the best.
Tempting, like alcohol, but there's the hangover to consider. A car for the more enthusiastic driver.
There's adequate space and the 145 is reasonably quiet, but you will not find yourself marvelling at the quality of its ride, which is rarely serene. There's generous space up front, adequate in the back and a decent boot. But oddments stowage in the cabin is limited. The RDS radio-cassette is okay, but no more than that, both in terms of ease of use and sound quality.
