Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: To each his own. Smaller doesn't work for a family of 6. Simple, comfortable and cheap enough
I have another 1997 opel sintra which I drove for 7 years 150 000 km , would still drive now if I was more careful. the other one also moves. I mean, every feeling and occasion needs a different car and it doesn't matter how much it consumes - as long as you can afford it. I can't recommend the sintra because it's history, it suits me but hardly anyone else. ..
Cons: It could have been galvanised - less rust.
