Some car alright, I've still got a 1.6 XLI in the shed, been off the road about 1 year now, but still a great car and going with 240,000 miles; pretty harmless miles for a Carina e I know, but mind you, some people are a bit shocked by it, ha ha.

It broke down once after 18 years with an alternator problem... that was it. Great responsive car and a sharp engine still in it...

That's pretty amazing alright about the Carina taxi in Dublin with 550,000 miles on it. I've seen one for sale with 426,000 miles, a 95 diesel in Cork... Now owning an 02 diesel Avensis, I'm pretty happy with it, but still feel the Carina e was slightly better. Any thoughts?
