Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Drive belt, Headlights. Replacing the drive belt was straight forward, access was very good but it is a 2 person job due to the tensioner. The headlight are a pain they suffer from misting inside the lamp covers. the best solution is to replace them. I understand this is a common fault.
What's most practical about your car?
Despite it being a 3 door hatchback there is enough room for 4 adults to sit comfortably. The MPG is marvels getting on average of 53 to 55 MPG. Or on long journeys 60MPG. When driving it very economically i reached about 65 MPG. Please note these are my calculated values the actual MPG. Not the computer read out it is about +2 to 4 MPG out.
