S 1.7 CDTi (130ps) 5dr

A practical ,reliable , economical 5 seater that can carry large loads with the rear seats folded flat.

I bought this car in a hurry and did not research it at all before buying. A quick test drive and I bought it for a very reasonable sum. It had 79,000 miles on it with a comprehensive history file included.
I have done 18,000 miles since buying it and in that time I have had to replace the cam belt and water pump as there was no record of it being done prior to my ownership. I am a competent mechanic so it was an afternoon's work and peace of mind was restored. The only faults to date are; sometimes the fuel gauge does not register correctly, showing me that it's out of fuel when in fact there is still half a tank remaining. To combat this, I just reset the trip meter on every fill up and I know I have 500 miles of range until my next fill. Also, the tell tale light on the dash that shows the indicators are on sometimes does not illuminate. Again no great shakes, I know when I've put the indicator on and there is still the audible warning. All in all, a good reliable car that does 53mpg average and the suicide rear doors make sure there is an easy and comfortable entry and exit for rear seat passengers.
