Nice and sensible ready to carry my kid around. Powerful ... but slow as well. Run nicely and has every extra. Shame about the fuel consumption and its speed off the lights but I can live with that as it wont be used frequently.

Y reg so its old as. But it is immaculate.

95k miles, just had full service with oil, filters, plugs etc. Needs a new clutch in the next 10k miles but apart from that there's no faults I can see. All electrics work as well which is remarkable.

Like you say, hopefully it will be rock solid for a few years and not give me much to worry about.
