    I've had my second hand 1995 3 cylinder hijet for 6 years, affectionately called grandads noddy van as the grandkids love it, although rear seats are nearly always folded up as I use cargo area for carrying work gear, never had over heating problem (dam should not have said that )am really sad they are being discontinued. I am thinking of up dating to a 1.3 with power steering and central locking, (and yes I do acknowledge other hijet users).

    This is the very first car I ever bought. If you are a learner driver and/or need 6-7 seats then this is a perfect ideal car. It is only 993cc engine (the newer ones are 1.3l) so great for road tax. The insurance on them are also lower. They are extremely economical on petrol. To fill the tank from empty costs about £20. When I went on my holiday I drove about 1000 miles and I only needed to put about £100 in. It is easy to drive and parking is very easy as it has no bonnet an ...
