5 door Automatic 1.6 16v Acenta with 16" wheels

Pleasure to drive, easy to park, very smooth running, reliable & comfortable - brilliant.

Bought the car new on the recommendation of HJ and have been delighted with my purchase. I am in my late 70's & the comfortable raised driving position, smooth ride & ease of parking are great features. I have now had the car for over four years and it has been completely reliable. The automatic transmission is very smooth and the interior trim is tasteful and shows no sign of wear after 16,000 miles.
If I have any criticisms, they are :-
1. The auxiliary belt has needed adjusting several times (perhaps annually ) but it would not let you down I have had it replaced twice at modest expense.
2. Being automatic and as I mainly do short trips, the petrol consumption is not the best but I average approx. 35 mpg.
3. The body shape does not give the car a lot of 'street cred' but the car's overall attraction overrules this in my book. Would strongly recommend.
