Rock solid car and the engine is superb
Had this car nearly 3 years and done 30k and it hasn't skipped a beat. The engine is the 130 bhp and it really is the perfect mix of power and economy. I did get some water into the passenger footwell which affected the electrics (common fault - water gets in through a blocked drain hole under the battery), but this was easily fixed and overall it is a very solid car: not the most nimble in the bends but the engine and gear change make up for that.
