There are always times when you need to make a bigger than usual demand of your car - and it's at those times when you can really count on the 5 door Maestro to deliver where others wouldn't. The Maestro City is the most budget-conscious model in the range, yet it's packed with all the benefits which make Maestro so supremely capable, both for the family and for the business.

In the times when you need to carry a full complement of passengers, you needn't worry about anyone in the back getting cramped. They'll be delighted with the City's generous leg-stretching space, ample head and shoulder room and bright, airy interior. You'll also be astonished at how seldom you need to top up the fuel tank, because at a steady 56mph, Maestro City will return over 50mpg.

However, you needn't think that the price you pay for all this economy, comfort and practicality is a car which offers just the bare essentials as far as specification is concerned. Quite the opposite.

The Maestro City comes fully equipped with a laminated windscreen, twin rear fog guard lamps, reversing lamps, a heated rear window, and a locking fuel filler flap. Twin door mirrors contribute to the superb all-round visibility. In the boot, valuables are protected by a folding rear parcel shelf. New for 1987 are a stylish coachline, full wheel trims and wider tyres.

The Maestro City's comfortable interior is fitted with distinctive Sonar Marle seat facings, and reclining front seats with head restraints. New-style door trims, with integral arm rests and stowage bins, have enhanced both style and practicality, whilst the 3-spoke soft-feel steering wheel adds a sporting touch. The colour-keyed seat belts offer adjustable upper mountings to suit taller peple.

The fascia houses a push-button radio which plays through twin door-mounted speakers; and features which include a dipping rear view mirror, intermittant wipe (in addition to the flick wipe faccility), and a lockable glovebox are all part of the generous specification.

The Maestro City X offers additional equipment including on the outside a stylish 3 bar coachline and rear wash/wipe, while the interior includes fully trimmed doors with cloth inserts, Sonar Marle and Plain velour seat facings together with a smart floor console with integral moulded gear lever gaiter. The fascia mounted clock will help you to arrive on time.

Whichever of these affordable Maestros you choose, you can be confident that it will give you everything you need - and quite a bit more besides.
