Q: Or have you ever had one and what are they like

A: I wouldn't touch one of those with a very long barge pole, I had a terrible year with a Vauxhall Cavalier (the only things that weren't replaced were the alternator and starter motor!) - I ended up scrapping it as the only way of repairing it would've been to replace the engine - parts included Water pump Cylinder head gasket (twice - had the head skimmed the second time) Clutch - (the replacement was never right either) Clutch Cable Radiator (also used enough petrol (25mpg overall) and oil (1 litre = 300 miles) to cause an energy crisis!
