How does one realistically answer this??!
It is fair to say that they do require a certain amount of maintenance
that you wouldnt necessarily experience with a more modern car however,
if properly maintained they will usually provide sterling service. - lost
of folk on this list use them as daily transportation but i think its
also fair to say that most of us have more modern conveyances for the
daily grind of getting around.
As to being good in cities, - sure why not? - only problems i can foresee
are getting it dinged or stolen!! (oh and possibly the odd overheating in
serious traffic!)
Why are you getting it? if its because you WANT one, then it all doesnt
matter does it? hehe
