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

In their own words

Needed something bigger to replace my seat Ibiza mk4 2003 . It rides a lot smoother, more spacious inside and a very big boot. Handling is not much good but it was never set up go fast around corners it's a comfortable daily driver and does that fine. Only worry I had was lack of performance due to extra weight in over my Ibiza. My Ibiza had the same pd130 but was remapped so it went from 130 to 173bhp and torque from 230 to 319 ft lbs of torque so a lot more than standard. Despite this the power felt ok for a daily driver although will get it remapped soon

How reliable do you find the car?

Have a starting problem but that's just the camshaft position sensor it's not a big job not got around to fixing it yet

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Good practical economical daily driver and it does that well
