My car

Bought mine Aug 2008 from a local family-run garage. Thought I was getting a bargain for a 2005, 15k for only £1,650.00 !! (dealer £2,600, private £2,200). From day one had problems, two new front tyres, it had only done 15k !! one month later battery kept dying, had to charge up over night so new battery purchased (£50.00). Next went the exhaust so another £200.00. Last thing to date was the oil filter, £55.00. The problem I found was getting parts. My local garage could not get the exhaust so I had to go 65 miles to a Perodua garage, not good with your exhaust hanging off. Same prob with the oli filter, they had to replace with a 3rd party one as their supplier could not get a Perodua one.

This was meant to be a second cheap 'run-around' car, our other car is a Ford S-Max but at over £400.00 on parts and labour cheap it's not been.

Don't get me wrong it's great on the fuel side, full tank sets you back about £20-£25.00, insurance is next to nothing and the tax is £120.00 a year.

You do get what you pay for with this car, a no frills, can with a steering wheel and four tyres.

Were trading in our Noddy car for a Zafira in the next few weeks.

"Ugly and not fun to drive. Only 4 seats and is a tight squeese, the Kelsia is not my kind of flavor. Actuarly it is quite bitter.

My car

Fun to drive and is very nippy around town. Holds it own on the motorway. Very cheap to run and insure.Brings back memories of Mini driving in the 60/70s. You should not try to compare this car with more expensive cars. Its a budget car that performs extremely well for the price you pay.
