My son has used this car daily to travel to work and back over the past 8 months or so - a round trip of around 60 miles per day. The car starts first time and has never let him down. He did have the car checked over at a local garage when he bought it and had a new battery fitted about 3 months ago. It does however need the coolant topping up every week or so and he never did get to the bottom of this. The car is due an MOT 17th May, has 120,000 miles and almost 2 keys ! ( the second key has lost its plastic fob ) It does have 4 very good tyres He's now working away for the foreseeable and left me to recover his initial outlay which bearing in mind his spend on service and battery I think might be possible !
