1.4 i-VTEC EX 99 5dr

more utilitarian than you think

Been reliable. But at 30k and 10years of ownership; heat shield under drivers side detached on the bypass - bigger piece of metal than i expected, two of the wheels i suspect of becoming porous as they dont hold pressure, rear hatch refused to open using handle - the metal u shaped bracket the plastic handle moves i was corroded ans seized up. Really a new bracket is needed but much lubrication freed it up for present. The car is under geared on the motorway and is noisy over 60mph but on A roads is a delight. But why oh why, in a car bought by the mature motorist does it have such c*** button controlled heating and ventilation, needing you to take your eyes off the road to use it. I drove a month before working out why the air con was on. Yet it doesnt have re ersing sensors. Also the windscreen pillars are too thick to see round. However all said still been a good buy
