General comments?
A very reliable car with just consumables going wrong, plenty of room and a decent boot. Performance OK and good for long distance (all over Scotland/Devon/Cornwall etc) and never let me down. Service the car myself so dirt cheap to run.
Never failed MOT and two spots of rust on rear wings, not bad for a car 11 years old.
