What the figures tell you
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Space and size
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
A good match for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the DL on your commute before you commit to it.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 1986 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
