In their own words

I cannot understand why the Epica is not a more common sight on Britain's roads. Since purchasing mine I have only seen one other, which was being used as a taxi in Ipswich. I love my Epica. I had never heard of the model but, with only 13,000 miles on the clock and a full service record, it was too good a bargain to ignore and I have never regretted buying it. I notice some motoring correspondents have claimed the Epica is boring to drive - but, in my opinion, that's just pompous nonsense. For those who cannot afford to break the bank the Epica is a reliable, very presentable, economical, comfortable and very affordable choice. I understand the Epica is basically a version of the South Korean Daewoo Tosca which has been rebadged and is powered with a Vauxhall engine. My Epica has now covered 41,500 miles and, today, as this time last year, sailed through its MoT. I cannot recommend this car highly enough.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Would have been perfect but would have expected the controls on the steering wheel to have been illuminated in the dark.
