General comments?
A great, reliable car. Since I paid £450 for it in 2003, I've put another 70 000 miles on the clock (£450 for 70 000 miles - why pay £10 000 for a new car!?), with NO major problems, just the usual oil, disc pad, exhaust replacements you'd expect to be necessary in a car of this age. It's comfortable, and can be very fast (although the cornering isn't as rock steady as some). Also holds a lot of luggage.
