D2 (115ps) R-DESIGN 5dr

Does everything I could want it to

I can happily take it to the shops, or on a fishing trip with two or more 12 foot two piece rods inside. It can happily take the dog and his crate, or a fortnights worth of luggage.
And it can do all of that at the same time whilst seating two adults in comfort, and it does have the most comfortable seats of any car I've owned. Looks great in the white with the late phase grill.
65mpg does happen on long trips but using the car for short ones will more likely see 45mpg. The later models seem to have fewer problems, I have only had to change one rear brake caliper which was not expensive.
Clutches will need doing at 100000 - 120000 miles as most cars will so finding one that has already had this done is a bonus. Same with the cam belt at 82500 miles.
I like the sinking feeling when I remember your road tax is due dissipating when I also remember it costs next to nothing.
The sound system is better than I've had in any car without having to install extras.
If I had to change anything I'd like it do have DAB and a bit more poke, but these are cheap modifications now [shrug emoji]
