We have had this car for 7 years and it has been super reliable and economical. It is a great car to drive (in my opinion!) and very versatile. It is my wife's car and has a bit of damage to the bottom of the rear door as a result! The door still works fine however. The car had a new battery last September. The tyres are good. The front springs have just been replaced. Over the last year we have had the plugs and coils replaced. This is a big expense but only needs doing once in its' life. MOT just renewed. We are the 4th owner. The car needs for nothing and has lots of life in it. Cosmetically, there is some surface rust to the wheel arch where the paint has lifted. The MOT identified some rust under neath. This has since been rubbed down, cleaned and treated with Waxoyl to prevent deterioration. Very good inside. Electrically all works except A/C which has never worked for us. All in all a good genuine automatic.
