Don't knock the Marina! I ran a 1.8 as a company car for a couple of years, replaced by a Cortina 1600 Mk4; the Marina was a better car in just about every respect. Faster, more economical, better ride and handling, and way, way, more reliable. Perhaps not the most attractive car, and I don't have a yen for one, but it was much better than its reputation.
