I'm a commited 4/4 fan. I've driven everything else though, up to CX cars, but given a choice it'd be a 4/4 for me...... a 1.8 Duratec.......!!!!
There is enough choice from such a long production for everyone to find the exact car that suits them.
I've never thought that they are inherently unreliable, far from it. The cars (were/are) relatively simple, with old fashioned tech that most folk could have a go at fixing if needed.
Someone will claim they've had 250,000 miles out of the same kingpins and only ever greased them with ear wax, where as some else will have had nothing but problems and had to have their car rebuilt 3 times......🤷🏻♂️ It's all part of the joy of handmade/hand assembled cars.......
On the house building front......... If you're contemplating doing it......... don't....... it's almost impossible now as a self builder. The rules, regulations and red tape are absolutely unbelievable.
I've built a few over the years, but it's never been as ridiculous as it is now.......this is definitely the last one.......
