Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I've had this car for 3 years and it's cost me nothing to run - never serviced it - it's never needed oil - and it's now done 120k -its worth a grand if I'm lucky - but then it only cost me 3½k in the first place
Costs
I only ever put petrol in it - what could be cheaper than that?
-
On the road
Driving
Excellent driving position, enjoys a good thrash even on the B roads, although you do need to concentrate on noticing your speed - it's easy to go too fast!
Performance
For a 1.8 it's excellent - it does a ton comfortably and that's fast enough for me
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never ever let me down
Image
I don't care what it looks like when I'm sitting inside it - they all look the same from the inside
Comfort
Girlfriend can't reach the pedals, and she gets car sick so we go out in her Focus - cool!
-
Security and Service
Security
I've locked my keys in it 3 times now and you should see what the RAC have to do to get in it. It's practically un-nickable
Service
I've never had it serviced by anyone - it's never needed it!
-
Problems and Ownership

Under the bonnet somewhere - starts first time every day
