You can still enjoy a 1.4 , although a 1.7 is more useful if you carry a few passengers often . The first easy modification would be to fit a 1.7 transaxle to gain a fifth gear if you are not lucky enough to have one already .
The 300 series , never break down and never need parts .. probably better than current cars for reliability . Hopefully the only cars left for sale now are the ones which were properly rustproofed from the factory .
They are big cars inside despite their look , one problem , heavy steering when parking but ok as long as the car is moving , New tyres and 36 psi in the tyres greatly eases this .
40 to 45 mpg is possible if everything is up to scratch .
