I have owned this car for six weeks now and I cannot fault it, everything about the drive is positive, the driving position is excellent and the power is there when you need it. All the controls are well laid out and very easy to use and my experience at the local dealership ( Holdcroft of Stoke-on-Trent ) is first class. I would recommend this car and this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable, good looking and well made car with low road tax, insurance and running costs. I hope to have this car for many years to come.
Purchased in January under VAT fee offer to replace ageing Corsa. Primary reason was for ESP which was not available on older cars at same price.Very pleased with all aspects of the car especially the equipment levels. Ride is very positive and fuel consumption is excellent, with 60mpg achieved over a long run with 4 passengers and luggage!
i have this car about a month, have got over 65 m p g from first calculation i dont find it slow, it overtakes very safely with a very good burst of speed without having to change down from 5th unless space is tight. i carry a labrador dog in the boot for walks, plenty of room for him rear seats fold to give good carrying space if required i am very pleased with it as a replacement for an ageing 1400 TDCI fusion zetec the engine is sweet, just having its first 12500 mile service dealership is first class. Love elec folding mirrors when garaging it Lovely modern shape and shiny red is great ESP ALL ROUND DISC BREAKS 4 ELEC WINDOWS ETC ETC GOOD VALUE
I have owned this car since Sept 2009 when I purchased it from new. The car has currently covered 24000 miles. I use the car as a tuition vehicle as I am a driving instructor. As a tuition car I have found it to be satisfactory. Good points are that you get a lot of car for the money. Air-con, ESP, electric windows, fully adjustable drivers seat, plenty of leg room. But there are a few negatives... Short drivers shins can touch panelling underneath steering column when seat brought right forward. Visibility is impaired over rear quarters of car due to high window line. All controls are very light clutch especially, perhaps too light. MPG varies considerably as to whether normally driving or teaching pupils. Overall average approx 40mpg. Since owing the car I have had two replacement clutches - pressure plate & bearing due to high pitch squeal when travelling slowly in reverse. This is what pupils do a lot when practising manoeuvres. Last clutch components replaced about 5,000 miles ago and high pitch squeal has returned all have been done under warranty. Also power steering cuts out when carrying out slow speed manoeuvring, e.g practising parallel parking. Something that would not happen when driven normally but highlighted with tuition car. There is a warning in handbook about heavy steering when driven at slow speed for any length of time. Dealer is aware of both clutch/steering issues. With these issues I have therefore decided to change my training c
