| General comments: |
Ignore the previous review, which is clearly a windup. Anyone thats owned one of these for any length of time would know differently. The bodywork is as good as new still (apart from usual road wear and tear), the engine still purrs as well as the day I bought it (6 and a half years ago) and doesn't use any more oil either. Passes its MOT year after year with nothing to bother with. Great over long distances, relaxing to drive. Very well equipped. A lovely comfy car that has never let me down, and I would recommend to anyone. Replacing it will be a challenge...
