A similar saying back in the 70s and 80s was that "Morris Marinas can't go round bends, and are unreliable"
The Marina I drove, which was an un modified 1.8 saloon, frequently saw off many Ford Capris driven by my colleagues down the twisty roads, and I covered 90,000 miles in it without a single breakdown
Yep Capris were heavier than Cortinas and quite a few were only 1300s and 1600s, so that doesn't surprise me.
Marinas were pretty simple and generally reliable though.

Frightened the life out of me. But no problems, no cracks, and no leaks. Its a doddle.
