Very reliable car. Lot of things I changed inside (brakes, bearings, exhaust, sealings, indicator, regular oil change and filters etc etc). It was bought for my Mrs as learner car. I'm looked after very well. Exterior not looking very well that's true. But if you like you can put vinyl on. That's was my original plan. We need to change because it's coming the second baby and a slightly bigger car need for a toddler and a baby, otherwise it's perfect for first car, learning, delivery. Once you try it I believe you will buy it. Also I take to MOT, so it's come with 12 months MOT.
