I got pretty much this one but with slightly different skirts, bumpers and wheels a month ago, i got the heated leather seats. Just here to hear other people say how reliable its going to be :)

Thank you much appreciated

Yeah it's a really solid car..would be excellent as 1st car

Thanks for your kind comments 😊

What's the mileage on your vehicle?

@@azankhan1267 112000

What do you mean?

@@alexpearce8371 It means you can drive it sporty but if you want to drive it racey than you need to seek the higher refs.

The one I reviewed is the Executive spec, hence the leather and sat nav unit

The SE is bog standard middle of the range..sport has a few body and interior differences to make it look "sportier" but overall no better performance. SE is generally slightly lower insurance than the sport.

@@sutsi Okay, I wanted to get a car that's fun to drive aswell as fairly fuel efficient and not too quick. What would you recommend?

@@TDF2004 either is fine. It's essentially the same car, just the sport costs a bit more in insurance premiums, so your personal choice. Both similar fuel economy.

The manual is more reliable.

@@sutsi if you were to chose between manual or auto, what would you reccomend? Im very new to this!

Manual is more durable...but the full automatic version of this is also good, just Cvt oil needs changing every 40k miles for longevity. So personal choice really whatever you prefer....albeit I like not having to deal with clutch etc when in traffic

@@sutsi Yes, I live in central london and my whole driving live is stop-start either in traffic or at lights so an auto is really preferable. Im happy to change oil and do basic upkeep, im just nervous about how optimistic I should be with the various ads for this car. Do you think 100k+ miles would be an issue?

They're pretty good, as long as it's the full automatic and not any semi auto version. Plus very important to change CVT gearbox oil every 40k miles or 4 years, to maintain the gearbox, failure to do so can cause premature failure

​@sutsi shit how do I know if its cvt😂 I know for sure its not the semi auto. All i know is it looks the same as the one in the video

@@jermaine___ this model ..2001-2005 has the CVT not semi (just make sure the gearbox looks like the one in the video), it's just in case you come across any imports .it's the 2006 space ship style one that had the i-shift. There's a yellow dipstick for the CVT gearbox on the right hand side. Check it's pink and right level. If no proof the gearbox oil change done recently, just play safe and get it done. It's about £125/130 at the main dealer or can be done DIY just like a normal oil change

If it's the full automatic it's fine just a tad under powered in my opinion but good overall

Yes. The one I reviewed was the Executive spec, the S and SE spec usually came with cloth seats as standard.

@@sutsi thanks for the response. Meanwhile, I want to ask if there's any mechanical differences between this and the regular same year sedan?

@@EMENIKEP in UK we only got the hatch...the saloon came as the IMA Hybrid. But otherwise like for like same
