Description
Great first/learner car or project car. Vehicle runs smooth and has an easy clutch for learners. Willing to deliver up to 100miles ish? If we are available :)
Engine and mechanical components well taken care of from my inspections, and I've done further repairs and part replacements including 2 services since January this year - I'm particular about keeping my cars healthy.
This was bought for my partner, she's enjoyed how small it feels to drive yet spacious on the inside for her friends and traveling with luggage - 1 large suitcase and 2 cabin bags can fit in boot at once.
Whenever I take it out I do enjoy how light and powerful the 2 litre NA engine is for its weight/size, compared to my 4 series which feels more boaty.
I'd say it compares to a more rigid/stable version of a mx-5/miata. Can really have a blast in it if you want, while also being a smooth city driver.
At 70mph on the motorway it sits around 2.5/3k revs in 6th gear, so it may be a little louder than bigger engine cars.

- Brakes have plenty of health, front pads are new, rear pads have around 4/5mm left (2/3 years)
- Tyres have a decent amount of life left - I'd say around 2 years
- Wipers are uprated to Bosch and I have applied rain x to the windscreen
- Dash-cam I can leave in is pretty standard, runs off the 12v. Spent approx 100 pounds off of Amazon
- All coolant hoses are in good condition
- Engine aux belt in good condition
- Air-con system works great, I also recently re gassed it to full - should last another 5 years
- Very good undercarriage - surface rust on exposed areas like rear diff and exhaust, but great in general - I'll add pictures of it on the ramp.
I can leave extra/left over service bits in the car since I will not have use of them.
We have enjoyed having this car in the family - sad to see it go.
