I've had it eight months and put 12,000 miles on it, so I feel qualified to talk about it now. It is exactly the car I need and I am extremely happy with it. I love the diesel power coupled with economy. I like the equipment level which, while not anything to compare with top of the pile cars, is enough for me. I love the way it drives, and the auto box, now that I know all of it's little foibles. I even love the way it looks, and the colour.
As some of you know, I get bored and change my car quite often, but not this one. I'm going to keep it until it becomes uneconomical to do so.
It really does take me about six months to feel at home with a car, so Jeremy Clarkson's job is safe.

Too many elderly people in relation to the number of working people paying tax. :)......a pension's time bomb.
You should be ashamed of yourself for taking a pension. I should have it. :)

Six months... :o :o :o. half an hour for most people.
Six months?.....that is the same as saying it takes you six months to find where a woman's pussy is located when you are bollock naked on top of her. ;D

They're actually very good tyres for my needs. If I drove like TB, I might consider something a bit more grippy.........but I don't. :)

Not cheap for a budget brand.

Agreed, another £15 a corner would get you a premium tyre.

I didn't say they were cheap, but good value. ;)
£60-70 a corner is generally my budget for tyres and these suit my needs. :y

Not a patch on the 916 imho... That was genuinely excellent value for money...
One advantage of running a shopping trolley is that your budget gets decent tyres :D
