In reply to Sliabh1982:
I would avoid one like the plague.
We had one from new (but luckily as a company car) and had:
-3 or 4 set of rear shocks on warranty and told if they go again then we would have to pay.
-It went rusty and had to be partially resprayed.
-The handbrake did not work when it was delivered and the factory fitted ipod player never worked.
-Wing mirror covers on both sides fell off and had to be replaced.
-Fuel pump broke
-Window wiper motor broke
-MPG was nothing like advertised... EVER!
-For some reason it handled better with 100kg of coal in the boot!?
-Show it a snow flake and it just started wheel spinning, I'd put that down to it having fat tyres and a tiny 1.5 engine.
-The main dealer was appalling.
-other things
In the end we bought it for 4k from company due to excess mileage and took it straight to a garage to swap for another car. We had to take our new car to another garage to get the locking nuts for alloys replaced and saw our car there. I asked the chap what he thought of them... I won't repeat it here!!
A Jap car, owned by the french and built in the North East. Make your own mind up. Ours was a 1.5 diesel.
