Cooling System Cooling Type: Water-cooled, thermostatically controlled. 🔧 Transmission Standard Manual Transmission: 4-speed and 5-speed manual transmissions were common. Optional Automatic Transmission: 3-speed automatic transmission (e.g., ZF or BorgWarner derivative) often available as an option. Features Clutch: Single dry plate clutch. Gear Ratios Gear Ratios: Specific ratios vary by engine and transmission type, detailed within the manual. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Styles: Sedan (4-door), Estate/Wagon (5-door), Coupe (2-door), Convertible (2-door). Weights Curb Weight: Varies by body style and engine, typically between 1100kg to 1300kg. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Safety: Modern safety standards were evolving during its production. Expected to have basic crumple zones and robust passenger cell. Detailed crash test data from original era may be limited or varied by region. Active Features Braking System: Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes standard. Some later or higher-trim models might have had four-wheel discs. Passive Features Seatbelts: Three-point seatbelts likely standard on front seats, lap belts on rear seats in later models. Steering Column: Likely incorporated a collapsible steering column for improved impact protection. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Radio Options: Basic AM/FM radio, often with a cassette player in later models. Optional with higher trim levels. Speakers: Typically 2 or 4 speakers depending on the trim and year. Driver Assistance ABS: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was not standard and only available on some higher-specification models later in its production run. Connectivity Connectivity Features: No modern connectivity features like Bluetooth, USB, or smartphone integration. Focus is on functional vehicle operation. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically every 5,000-7,500 km (3,000-4,500 miles) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type used. Manual will specify. Tune Up Interval: Spark plug replacement, ignition timing, and carburetor adjustments usually recommended every 20,000-30,000...
