General comments?
I bought this car after reading good reviews from friends. However once I'd purchased it the first roundabout produced a grumbling CV joint. £140 later I had a whole new shaft. 1 month later the other side did it. Then the car didn't start. Broke down on the motorway!! Nice. Had to have two track rod ends fitted.
The car was great to drive but the problems with it added to French part costs led me to get shot of it.
Get a good one and get it checked out by the AA or whoever. Better to be safe than as sorry as I was!
