Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great value - what is faster, cheaper to run & more practical for the money?
Costs
Average 33mpg, very impressive for a 9 yr old 200bhp car. Most components & standard service items common to standard 600 - I use independent garage for servicing, most parts cheap. Gp 17ins high & budget £600 to refurbish gearbox at 85k.

On the road
Driving
Nice steering & controls - easy & enjoyable to drive. Handling & chassis set up more for high speed cruising than B road GTi baiting.
Performance
Very fast - great Q car - everyone will underestimate your speed which has advantages & disadvantages!

Living with it
Reliability
Bought at 5yrs old & 42k - let me down twice - 1 flat battery and 1 new altenator required. AA callout enabled me to drive home both times - not too bad for 60k in 3yrs.
Image
Quite nice looking - great Q car perfectly disguised as Grandad's cruiser! Can be very enjoyable.
Comfort
Comfy over long distances, only let down by slight lack of headroom for tall drivers & could do with aircon, especially with black leather interior! Good sized boot also.

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser + alarm. Make sure central locking & immobiliser key are present & correct.
Service
Always used a good independent.
