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

In their own words

Engine is powerful enough, reliable and economical. Suspension also comfortable, handling is OK for a family vehicle. Comfortable seats without too much noise and glass roof makes interior light in daytime. Titanium model has a decent level of finish, nice clear controls and dials. Exterior paint work and all chrome metal trim has remained in good condition considering it gets washed every 1 - 2 months. I have always kept to the service schedule but since January 2019 the car has only done 2k miles.

How reliable do you find the car?

Low tyre pressure warning light often comes on. No other problems in 4 years. A split in a plastic pipe caused a engine management light to come on sporadically, which immediately severely reduced performance. Had to wait until light was on to get it to a workshop to run diagnostic test. £100 for pipe - and £400 total with workshop bill!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Bought it to get to work and back from Dec 2016 - Jan 2019, 40 mile round trip every day for 2 years 2 months and never let me down. Then redundancy, followed by retirement and very limited travel under Covid restrictions.
