I used to have a Honda Civic - in some ways a fantastic car. On the whole it was really good but I really don't want to risk the safety of the children in a roller skate with a roof. To be honest the W201 is a bit small for my safety conscious liking.

The eye opener for today was that despite the poor condition of the car it had held up quite well to some serious abuse. I was surprised how nice it felt - I didn't expect to have that familiar comfortable Mercedes feel in a W201. But it is there.
