Review
mac65, South East
Pros:
Looks great, especially on the upgraded alloys. Drives great too. Very comfortable. £170 road tax. Good on diesel.
Cons:
Electrical reliabilty issues, ABS pump gets noisy with age.
Suspension a little too firm for my taste.
Repairs expensive.
Comments:
Although it is time for me to change the car, and it needs over £1000 spending on it to get it back to perfect (rear springs, front shocks, caster arms and a couple of minor leaks)I have decided to keep it as i can't find anything i like more.
I do very low mileage, and it is largely short journeys up and down hills. Am still getting around 30mpg, and on a motorway run it returns around 40.
