What does this car say about you?
Broke young guy

Friends laugh at it as I’ve had 2 other cars which were much better than this. Wife loves the economy

Would you buy this car again and why?
NEVER, seems like the problem with the injector pump is a common fault, and an expensive one as well.

What are you likely to buy next?
Volkswagen Golf TDi or Focus TDCI

Easy Peasy

Living with it

Have you had any problems with the car?
It was fine until last week when the injector pump failed, nightmare of a job. One garage told me it’s going to cost £2700, found another mechanic hopefully his a bit more realistic.

What's most practical about your car?
