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

In their own words

Reliable comfortable and economical. with good all round vision. It seats 5 comfortably.The loading space is cavernous especially with the rear seats down. The heated front screen is a real bonus with no scraping on frosty mornings. Despite its age and high mileage I still get over 50mpg on the urban cycle and even better on a long run. I have it serviced regularly and the bills are never high. Unlike a lot of cars which have timing belts, this engine has a timing chain and I therefore do not have to worry about changing the belt regularly. Cruises comfortably at 70/75 mph but has plenty of power in reserve and still has good torque for acceleration to over 90 It still had the original exhaust at 210,000 miles when it needed a new tailpipe Never regretted purchasing it.

How reliable do you find the car?

Couple of problems with engine stalling but remedied by changing 2 sensors. Apart from that, excellent runner. No MOT or maintenance problems.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Good size car cavernous loading space. Good acceleration, relatively economical and comfortable on long journeys.
