  • Living with it

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    It doesnt like water!... Heater air plenum chamber filled with rainwater once, spilled into the car and drowned the electrics, which had to be replaced with much interior trim; electrics havent been quite the same since. Engine flooded in quite a low flood because the air intake for engine is too low down at the front of the car.

    Tenacious grip, good fuel economy (diesel) and pace.
