Any one got one of these, interested in the reliability.

I've not got one but took a 186k miler in part ex..... all bills and reciepts and for routine service, brake pads, Tyres, A battery, other minor stuff 165,000 miles worth of history totalled £ 1900 from main dealer to 100K too,it was a taxi, and I sold it in the trade for £ 2500.... in met blue....

apart from when the battery took a holiday the owner claimed it had never missed a beat or been atended by a recovery company....

There is another company in Northampton that use these and the Hyundai version as Taxis.... with a 5 year unlimited mile warranty (Hyundai) where can you go wrong

We've got one, there completely sound.  Had it for about 2/3 years now and we havent had any problems with it, except for the theiving little gits trying to nick it, but they never got her started.

I have an April 04 one brought new has 50k on it now, I love the car BUT!

In the first 3 months it was on a lorry twice due to failures!

It has never gone from a service to a sevice without something going wrong that needed a warrenty claim.

I had intended to keep it for 5 years  but unfortanatly it will be going before the warrenty runs out to be replaced by a better make!
