Wow parts are expensive, try and miss main dealers.

Living with it
Reliability
Good apart from wear and tear. I do 200 miles a day with not too many problems.

Grandad mobile or what!
Comfort
Nice and comfy. That magic carpet suspension is great.

Security and Service
Security
Ok if everything works, but key fob and central locking is prone to break after a while.
Service
Parts are just too expensive for how quick the car loses money. A shame really, but hey they are still a popular cheap diesel with the best engine.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Good. Change oil regularly though.
Other
There is a little clip which is to do with the clutch. If it breaks it will drop from behind the pedals. For something that costs less than a quid, if it goes it costs a bomb due to labour, as it is so fiddly to fix.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
No
