Living with it

Spent over £1500 keeping it going in 3 years!
Image
Looks very nice in white in 3 door.
Comfort
Like the seats a lot and with black interior makes it so much better than the old grey you normally get.

Security and Service
Security
Rubbish alarm/immobiliser, works off the door lock so can be easily broken into and bypassed.
Service
Service over priced for what you get, my advice do service yourself costs £35 for service kit with everything in all filters and spark plugs from auto Vaux.
