Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
For the amount it cost, could have bought a BMW and we now have!
Costs
On pick-up (3 years old), it shuddered(!) and in the 3yrs we've had it: PAS went, coil pack, lights, cambelt tensioners, all doors deadlocked including petrol cap (fortune!), valve went so the car kept cutting out and the driver's window unit broke: £110.

On the road
Driving
Drinks petrol like a man in a desert!
Performance
It's only got 112k miles on the clock. Had it serviced regularly at every 7k miles rather than 10k and it's still a bag nails!

Living with it
Reliability
Don't bother. Make sure you save money! We're handing it back to the finance company!
Image
Looks pretty good and does shift. Gives great satisfaction when overtaking people who think they have a better car than you cos theirs is newer! Practically only a Subaru can beat this baby!
Comfort
Very comfortable providing you don't have any speed humps! Otherwise forget it!

Security and Service
Security
Never had a problem at all.
Service
Always really friendly, but every time car was serviced, something else seemed to go wrong.
