A compact car that can be equipped with a powerful engine at low costs (500 DM). It managed driving performances matching middle class cars of that time. However, at high engine speeds with corresponding hubbub. But it was steadfast, the small 850 pushrod engine, which was also offered in the Coupe version.
Due to the small shape the agility of the car was excellent. The relatively simple chassis was sufficient for sporty driving, although the spring travel was not extraordinary. Although there was no power assisted steering, at that time it was not standard, the steering was easy to handle. The stronger engine version had a remarkable power-to-weight ratio. 01/09
