Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: I can bet that when it was new it delighted its owner over a long period, because although the interior is plastic it does not give the impression of cheapness. The boot is also very well made and lined. The 2.0 petrol engine has a strange sound but one cannot complain about its power. If you push the accelerator pedal into the floor, the car doesn't let you down.
Cons: Compared to the Audi 80, the seats are quite firm. The interior upholstery used too much soft plastic, which was getting worn.
2.0 engine sound peculiar. Traction sufficient. Terrible lot of front and rear joints which are not the cheapest to replace. Although the car is not a computer, but the computer system is glitching. Makes the fan work even though the temperature controller is new and not damaged. Anyway, it throws out the bits that only an electrician can remove and they are all extra costs.

Pros: A good daily car for all generations with a classic design doesn't look out of date. Works well on engine and gearbox, an economic one.
Cons: Too small salon for like large car. Sitting is not comfortable in second row. The low roof disturb longer people sit in second line, However, lowering chairs in car can easily transform it for sleeping, creates a smooth surface. Our car had problems with heating in winter. A typical problem for current model - expires rear door window wiper motor.

Pros: Economical, dynamic, robust, no problems if serviced on time.
Cons: Not enough space for people sitting at the back. Keep an eye on the oil pump drive hex, I would recommend changing it at 50,000 km, as these engines have problems starting from not changing it in time - pressure drops, then there is a chain reaction - eventually the turbine goes out, camshaft and soot filter.
