Aforementioned TopGear episode here:

Wow really? Clearly the article was written by a complete moron. I remember watching an episode of Top Gear where they had to beat a lap time set by a 120Y and couldn't hardly keep up in cars with V8's. Wish I could remember the cars they were in.

Anyways, the 120Y wasn't prefect but was FAR from the worst car.

camira was also a very underated car. but thats a seperate argument

Yeah I also have never seen a statue to a critic. My vote is a Holden Camira now theres a boat anchor.

When I mention I am restoreing a 120y I always get the comment they had one in their family...... alot like the VW beetle
As for people who put pen to paper......

There never been a statue erected in honour of a critic.

All of us 120 owners are so proud, all the positive replys make us feel like deep down people do share our slightly off centre taste. Group hug!!

thats the way vixen!

tell em to stick that in their pipe and smoke it!

I wonder if this journalist ever drove a 120y, and if he did, would he rote such crappy article about this great car......? By the way i wonder if he have seen how the older vw golfs can rust!!!!

They may be a bit ugly but there is lots you can do to make them look,go and handle great..Third gear power slide Pittsworth sprints 2010.
