Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought for £7k with 40k on clock. Fair amount of kit for the money.
Costs
Local dealership sky-high serviceing costs.
-
On the road
Driving
Extremely rough ride. No power when pulling away - local dealership could not pin down fault. Likewise with over spongy break pedal and constant engine management problems.
Performance
Fine when running ok, however, engine management complete rubbish.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Only broke down once. AA job - clogged fuel line.
Image
Looks ok
Comfort
Ride felt like suspension was shot, however, again, local dealership could find no problems. Change of shocks at 60k made no difference.
