In their own words

Nice cheap car and did well until it got over 70’000 miles. Before it hit 70’000 miles there was only one fault that was replaced under warranty. Since 70’000 miles the vehicle has had the clutch pedal stick to the floor, a water leak (a known fault on these) that required a new DC converter and additional work to prevent the water leak from reoccurring. The latest fault it just completely cuts out when driving, at which point it went to salvage.

The engine is agricultural, MPG of just over 40mpg. You also need to rev the hell out of it to get any of the claimed power this engine has.

The ride of this vehicle is something else, it’s like going over bumps in a shopping trolley. The only good side is you can seriously throw this thing around a corner at speed and it sticks like glue.

DAB radio is good for reception, better than some new cars. It will however randomly stop working and will need retuning constantly.
