Owners describe the 220 as a genuinely pleasant, easy driver that flatters its antique appearance, accelerating and stopping cleanly but with no pretense of being fast. The column-mounted H-pattern shift is called tricky at first but easily learned, and the folding 'roll top' roof is praised for keeping rear passengers to only a light breeze.
Driving character: a smooth cruiser, not a hot rod
