Nice to drive, I think the dash etc still looks modern now even though car's 8 yrs old. 1.6 engine fine for me usually but bit sluggish with full load.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Considering it had high milage (70k) when bought, very few problems. Only big bill (£700) was for a lump of metal which connected exhaust to manifold, otherwise only what you'd expect considering I've added 50K in 5 years. Never let me down, not started, broken down etc!!!

big boot.
