Economy
Value
You get what you pay for. A quality car!
Costs
Bought from a dealer for £10,000 3 years ago and the car had a few undetected faults at the time of purchase. Quite pricey for a faulty car. Should have had an RAC check or similar carried out before purchase.

Reliability
It's done me well but, I did cry after a £800 bill due to a leaking clutch master slave cylinder. The correct parts have been difficult to identify first time due to the year of manufacture.
Image
Looks good with tinted windows, alloys and the boot spoiler.
Comfort
Eats long journeys in total comfort.
