I bought my Shuma new in 2000. The vehicle has never let me down and is still holding together with no parts falling off or rust signs. The car has only travelled 20000 miles, the only repair work apart from regular servicing by myself has been a replacement clutch unit at 18k. This due possibly to the large number of in town short trips the car makes. The Shuma 1.5 is no Rolls, but it cost new less than my other premium badge car depriciated in the first six month of its life.
