Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£1,450
When did you buy the car?
September 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes! Bought it from someone on eBay. Arranged to look at and drive the car...bought it then and there. 90,000 mile with full service history. Just had a new turbo fitted at a cost of just over £1000, with receipts to prove. Car is immaculate!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Looks nice, good mpg and recently had a new turbo fitted two days before I bought it! Immaculate condition! Plus the price for what I got was much better than any Mondeo, Vectra etc that was out there.
What was the dealer like?
The guy was very friendly.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
With 120bhp and 300mn torq., it pulls very well. It has no problems with even the steepest of roads in my area...it can accelerate up them all! Comfortable driving position and handles these roads well at the national limit that seems to govern all except the odd 100m when you go through a village. Though its home is on the motorway, where it is poised and quiet.
What's it like to park?
Very easy, good visibility all around
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope
What's most practical about your car?
Its comfy for me to drive! I'm 6'1" but with very long legs 34", and in this I don't feel that I'm stretching to reach the steering wheel. Means I can drive the 300 miles to my parents in great comfort.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Xenon lights, they greatly improve visibility on the roads where I live (in rural Wales). The climate control is great too!
