1.8 TR 147 V-matic Estate

Loyal and Reliable Servant

In 5 years ownership this car has never let me down and I have only had minor bills additional to annual services and MOT. It's comfortable and spacious with good all round visibility. The engine noise is barely perceptible at tickover and generally quiet except when driven hard. It's at its best as a motorway cruiser and less comfortable on bumpy, winding roads. First gear is a bit short but it accelerates quickly enough if needed. I have been getting about 38mpg with mixed driving. Sat nav, rear camera and cruise control are features that I use regularly and they work well. The boot is big enough to comfortably accommodate my large dog. It may not be the best looking car in the car park but it beats most if not all the others for comfort and reliability.
