Description

This has been my daily for five years. It's an ideal first car or cheap runabout. The good: lots of history Well looked after Runs and has current mot with no real problems in its history at all. It's never broken down. Clutch, engine all fine. Lots of nice features, power folding mirrors, sat nav, cruise control, voice activation, auto wipers, auto lights. Comfy and agile, a really nice drive with a wonderful gear box. Recent filter, brake fluid and oil change. The bad: Lots of minor dinks and age wear. Needs a darn good clean. The biggest issue is that they didn't bleed the brakes well when they changed the fluid, so now the pedal is very spongy, this needs sorting before regular use. AC doesn't work. Don't know why so won't guess. Needs a new cover for the cabin pollen filter. The boot struts need replacing (new ones are included, I just have zero time to sort all these niggles) The lower boot can get damp after a car wash/heavy rain. (Like so many other cars it seems!) The cruise control can be a tad intermittent. If you go over a bump it stops for a bit. The suspension is super firm, which gives it the nice handling, but it's getting noisy with age. It's a solid car that was very high spec in its day, and still has many features that you'd pay a bunch for in modern cars. It has no major issues, just niggles. I'm open to offers as I'd like my driveway back.
