1.4SXi 5dr 16v hatchback

Will not set the world on fire, but it has four wheels and it goes.

Bought for SWMBO, low mileage, comparable in size to previous car. Thrummy 3 pot engine ok on the flat but a requirement to drop down to 3rd when faced with a decent hill to climb. Few months into ownership, thermostat sensor went futt requiring a week at the garage under a warranty repair as the part was in short supply and had to come direct from Bosch and car was unusable as sensor controlled emissions! Supplied with stupid puncture repair goo and compressor, first chance I had I obtained an alloy wheel from the sc***py for the under boot area. Why manufacturers keep supplying these silly goo kits I do not know, peace of mind achieved with a real wheel in the boot. Vehicle multi function control box sometimes throws a sulk when weather gets a bit toasty but other than that, reasonably reliable. Interior clean and hard wearing, everything neatly laid out.
