Oh my deities! I was once gifted a Montego turbo as a company car, it cornered like a hippo with a replacement hip and at 6 months old the alleged sunroof showered me with rust. I didn't stay with that company long enough to find out what a 1 year old Montego was like. Still, it was only marginally worse than a Renault 25, which were apparently made entirely of coke cans....

You need to watch a few hippo documentaries...as what you say is really offensive to hippos.
Wonder if it was the metric tyres? Replacing the rims (5.5 maestro and 6j on the monty) with yokohama tyres helped.

The Montego GTI spent much of its time in the garage being repaired.. Its predecessor, a humble 1.6L estate, was fairly reliable!
Edit.. The GTI had fold up seats in the boot for a proto mpv win

The Maestro turbo! A true last gasp.. Bolt a big turbo to a truly awful car and neglect to upgrade brakes and suspension.
Edit to add that I learnt to drive in a BRG Montego GTI Estate!
