There hasn't gone anything wrong with the car so far, only the usual maintenance.
The original good year tires have bin replaced around 50.000 for Michelin Primacy's, which perform far better then the good year's, both in dry and wet conditions.
Distribution belt replaced at 105.000.
Considering the small engine the car is pretty fast, handles very good (Even in comparison with the Clio V6 I use in the weekend's). The torque curve is impressive, much torque at low rpm s. The interior is excellent although after five years there are some sounds, but nothing disturbing, and considering the very bad road conditions the car has to go by everyday it isn't strange. Brakes are also excellent, very good feel, and no fading.
Thank you for a good report. Today I bought a 1.8 Sport Estate. But had not seen these pages until now. So many bad reports have been posted that I was already thinking about selling the car and I don't collect it until next week. You have given me some hope again!
