Not great performance from a 1.3 hauling all that 4WD stuff around, but it's not thirsty either.

My Dad had a Subaru Justy. Not bad cars at all. In fact that's exactly what they are - cheap run arounds!. AWD is handy and don't think it ever had any mechanical issues.

Re: Cheap run around ?
hate to say it, but pug 106s are going cheaper than ever, as are ford ka's.
you can always pick up a cheap-ass ford escort 1.3 (N reg ish) for peanuts. I got one for £230 before Xmas for my sister from a local second hand dealer. Still working.

my mate used to have a 106 diesel and it was bullet proof.
Remember speed kills, so does smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food and many more good things
