Was persuaded by a friend to buy one of these awful cars. Opted for a W reg with 60k miles and a fsh.
The car is ugly, uninspiring and bland. It is seriously uncomfortable and has a very harsh ride. The car has next to no sound deadening and is quite a noisy drive. Feels like it would break into pieces in an accident, dont tust it at all.
Worst purchase I have ever made, don't know why they hold their value as you can get a lot better for the money.
Steer well clear. The car has been sold again after just 1 week.

I recently sold my W reg Toyota Corolla having had it for 3 years. I think I made a mistake by selling it. In 3 years I only spent £120.00, apart from MOT's and tyres, for a service from a local mechanic as it was such good reliable car. You just have to fill it and it does the rest.
