"Amazing car for a mere pittance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Tailgate catch sometimes sticks which is most annoying.

General comments?

Ridiculously cheap to buy as used with massive UK depreciation.

Car is quick especially in sports mode and appears to be slow which is an illusion it is easy to break speed limits eg: 70 mph seems like 50 mph, lower speeds are hard to maintain.

Rear is cramped and so is driving position with the rear seats down.

The built stereo system is a silly idea and cannot be removed which is a pity as I wanted to install my JVC CD/mp3 Player, come on FIAT tapes went out with the Ark!

Fuel consumption is a taj on the heavy side I am averaging 40 mph on a run and around 25 mph urban.

I paid the ridiculous price of just £1200 for a car a little over 3 years old, with just 42k on the clock and with FSH and in excellent condition.

It's a 1.6i with ABS/Air Con /Climate Control, EW/CL etc etc so an awful lot of car for the money.

Well worth checking out as the massive depreciation can work well for the used car buyer.
