I had one and never again. They are cheap poxy Euro POS cars made to last 10 years. My old one had 295 000kms on the clock, I had it for a year and I had to replace maintenace items like cambelt and clutch. Apart from that, alternator, starter motor, idle control valve (x3) and power steering pump f.ed out within a month of each other. Then I had an ignition relay pack up behind the fuse box and SRS light started flashing (poor connection under passenger seat, common fault). Serpentine belt tensioner and right rear coil spring also had enough. Seats are awful, dashboards rattle, etc.
