    Not bad. Only downside is cost of parts and how quick they depreciate in value.

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

    Nice and comfy. That magic carpet suspension is great.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    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.
