Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Its small practic car, average low fuel consumption for a 24 year old car,funn to drive and quiet car, comfortable. never heard rattles and squicks, simple to maintain and low cost repairs and replacement parts and labor costs.
Cons: For some models its hard to find parts (engine parts) mine was 1.6 101hp and in my area barely could find engine parts. I should order from ebay and wait for 2-3 weeks to come. Electric windows are a bit slow and manual gearbox is the most awful thing in city traffic and it can be jerky sometimes.
