Bad Points
Who would buy it new at almost £30k - no wait a year or so, pay £12 to £15k and save buckets over the bmw, Audi and the like.
136hp is a bit under powered, go for the 170.
General Comments
Great value second hand exec car, 2005 model, bought at 1 year old for only £13k, with 20k on the clock. Have done another 50k miles in the last 2 years and not a single fault. Servicing by dealer has been pain free.
Manual 6 speed delivers 39mpg, driven fairly hard. Every extra, lots room, really a much under rated car.
As a self employed guy, watching the pennies is important and this car helps with that.
As per above, a great car, very reliable, so far, has worked hard and will probably keep for another couple of years.
