Good points

Fantastic engine, giving loads of torque just where it is needed, nice solid feel even with over 116000 miles on the clock, reasonable fuel consumption considering the performance, good brakes, nice blend of ride and handling for normal road use, fairly cheap to insure.

Bad points

Body work does not appear to be as resilient to rust as I would have expected, with stone chips showing signs of corrosion and the tailgate has paint peeling around the handle. lack of space in the back seats. Seats show signs of wear.

Other comments

Very underrated car with surprising performance, cheap insurance, just hope the bodywork doesn’t let it down in time.
