Have owned this car for 5 years and it's been totally reliable. The only thing I have purchased are front discs and pads and a new battery. At the last MOT it was fitted with 4 new tyres . It's generally in good condition with no dents apart from a small one on the rear bumper. The rear bumper is also a bit scratched in places and could do with a plastic protector. It comes with a detachable tow bar. 90% of the tow bar use has been for a cycle rack and about 3 times a year we take a small trailer tent to local sites. The car is in PL18 Devon Cornwall border.
