fernandezm1974's recommendation

Good Points

Comfortable and stylish car, really good performance from a car of this age probably due to previous owners maintenance, still turning heads on the high street this would be due to the colour (bright yellow), highly reliable and not to costly to replace parts or service and maintain the car.

Bad Points

Some of the lacquer has started to wear and paint is fading.

Only recently having intermittent problems with ABS system, not mechanical just the warning light often appears but soon fades.

Electric mirrors get sticky and refuse to move often requiring a gentle nudge by hand to get them moving.

Leather interior is starting to look a little tired.

General Comments

Having bought this car just over two years ago, the car was converted to run on L.P.G (Liquid Propane Gas) which in itself has been a real benefit in terms of running cost (around £0.45 pence per litre compared to £0.90+ pence per litre for unleaded petrol). Although the miles per gallon are equal on either fuel there is a slight loss in power using the LPG.
Overall this has been a FANTASTIC car needing very little mechanical maintenance and has served the purpose it was purchased for, great value for money. (you should buy one!).
