1995 1.8 diesel fiesta got it with 90k for 970 quid and sold it on with 220k on the clock for 100 quid after it failed mot very very badly on rust and shocks all round and some little shit who didnt like a family id delivered a bike to stuck a brick through my rear window!. economic doesnt even come close ....it got about 50-60mpg ... didnt go anywhere fast mind and overtaking was like playing the lottery.
replaced with 1995 1.6 16v escort ghia bought for 500 quid with 50k on the clock headgasket started to show signs of going after 2 years so sold it with 70k on the clock. did swallow 6 bikes internally and 3 folk
was given a 2000 hyundai lantra - to date the worst car ive owned. Owned by the parents since new. Its gutless - asthmatic and shit .. got it with 42k on the clock and its now just turned over to 70k and i dread going places in it due to its lack of fuel economy and its lack of ability to hold a speed up an incline when it has bikes on the back. doesnt even go round corners well ! its a nice colour though ! but its wheels and it gets me places and costs me little. ill replace it when it falls apart !
