Apart from the "family price" tag, which I presume is the main catch, what else do you love about the car? If sincerely on your mind there's not much then it's better you let go

The engine is usually 5cyl 24valve and to be very frank, not so good on fuel economy. Parts are dirt cheap of course but you need someone who is versed in European cars to be your mechanic.

The car doesn't have much electrical sensors and the rpm can also be manually adjusted from the engine(of you're one of those who go that route to ease up on fuel consumption).

Major demerits is the interior, mainly the dash. Once it starts falling apart it's catastrophic and there will be plenty patch up everywhere. The Ac too most times are too problematic

Most of them I encounter hardly have shocks and leg issues so I can say it's a pass mark on that department, but the car shape for me - Naaa(looks like a box). But since you're asking to know more about the car it means you're cool with it, so enjoy!!!
