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

Economy
Value
A cheap car, but don't let its cost deter you if you want a reliable car. This is both reliable, cheap and pretty new.
Costs
A lot of problems I've had with the cam belt at 112K. Battery has a tendency to die.

Driving
A very smooth car, very excellent cornering.

Excellent acceleration. Careful you don't press too hard on the accelerator as it will take you by surprise.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Battery dies easily with diesels apparently.
Other
Lots of squeaks. Got to be careful when changing from 5th to 2nd for junctions as it does like to go into 4th without telling you so as you pull away it stalls (obviously).
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
