there good cars well built. and good engines. the 16v likes to be reved hard to get the best out of it 150bhp. fuel wise you get about 250/300 to a tank think its something like 45 lts. no major
problem with them apart from have to watch for rust on the rear arches but if you look after them thats not a worry. parts are cheap most bits are mk4 polo or mk3 golf. and the cordy is slightly unloved so prices are cheaper in most cases
