In their own words

This car has been in my family for many years, was my dad's car, lot of memories in it. My dad was planning to sell it at 2015 but passed away, I was 15 at the time, I looked after it then, it was abandoned in the garage, lack of maintenance, the battery went bad so we replaced it, I used to idle this car for 15-30 minutes for 3 years and used gerry can petrol. When I turned 18 my brother insured the car and I was the driver. Even though its an MPV I enjoyed the car a lot, was a puncy car, It was 1.8 automatic but had a sports mode which has the speed of the manual version, I have been very harsh with the car, revving it to 6500 many times and full throttle almost daily, still no problems. Has a good amount of power on motorway, the car has never had any problems other than the ones I caused, when changing the MAF we accidently unplugged a vacuum pipe which caused the car to suffer rough idling, we got it fixed, till today it has not had a single issue.
