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

In their own words

No expensive repairs. Very reliable. Intrusive tyre noise in cabin fixed by using Michelin Crossclimate tyres. Always starts first time. Uses up no oil between services. Plenty of room inside. Slow. Road tax dear (£215 per year?). Low mpg (37 mpg average). Comfy high driving position. Practical vehicle. Good build quality. No bangs or rattles. Still on original clutch, exhaust, gearbox and all other major parts. Did need a new battery at 8 years old. Not much in the way of electronic equipment to go wrong. No turbo to go wrong. Simple routine maintenance.
