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

In their own words

A lot of space inside the car and a lot of cupholders, dashboard very helpfull, engine is not loud so it is good for cruising around. Poor mpg, gas pedal is not very reponsive for the amount of bhp. Depends for what reason you buy this car. Not for everyone i think...

How reliable do you find the car?

Replaced the discs rotors and pads, suspension mounts, bar links, all the light bulbs twice...all this in just 3 months of ownership. Rust on this car is amazing. Body was repaired and repainted but just after 4 months the rust is back, some body parts will need replacing and repainted very soon. Rust is everywhere on this car!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Very slow if i plan to do some overtakes, loses power when you need it the most. Suspension on corners feels a bit like a boat.
