About four years ago I bought a Volvo 345 DL a 1.7 Litre hatchback, It needed new suspension bushes anew clutch and a new Carbouretta to get it running right but once it was running I could bet 36 mpg out of it (6 or 7 Miles per litre) thats pretty good or a 13 year old car. The style of car i bought was the plastic seat and no frills type and so I cannot comment on these but with a conventional heater system I was perfectly alright.
Driving the car was great once I did the carbouretta replacement with the above mpg it would overtake great and for a small style of car it was not to small car(and I'm a six footer) but driving it in small areas was great. The interior was as mentioned not special but it was big enough to do a lot I moved a large house contents into a small bungalow in a short number of trips and did a grass cutting job without banging my head on the equipment every time I moved my head.
Now the bad news I was driving my car in the snow and ice and wrapped it round a lamp post (wel I was doing 60 at the time)But heres the good news although the car was trashed but I was just scratched.
