Car Choices:
A 1.1 4-cylinder with 62hp wouldn't set your pulses on high levels; instead, it will give you happiness when it comes to fuel efficiency and maintenance costs (despite the standard carburetor engine). Before buying, check if the carb works well.
If you aim to buy a Pride (thanks to its low prices), going new is better. You are better off with something privately used than a previous beat up taxicab. CD5 models get at least alloy wheels (steel ones were common among older ones), power steering, air conditioning, and cassette player. In 2003, the trims were revised and renamed as Ecco and Spree. Ecco variants inherited the CD5 amenities while the Spree adds power windows, power door locks, and power mirrors.
