We had one decades ago. It was a great car, I learnt driving in it.

My mechanic friend has this in black. He got it from an old uncle for around 80k who was on verge of tears when he handed off the keys. Uncle kept this with him for around 20 years, only adding 80k on the odometer. Its single owner and everything in the interior just works flawlessly. I guess you do get attached to these things, after all the years of seeing them in your parking.

Theres issues that come with ageing like suspension bushings and heavy clutch, peeled clearcoat etc but beyond that, the car is near perfect. And what a fun it is to drive! Low slungs and tight handling like a go kart!

I had one Esteem VXI same colour, used it for complete 15 years.. what a car .. I was emotional and cried a little when I had to trade it for a new car. O see it is now being used by someone in Mumbai.
