This was a fantastic first car. I bought it second hand and owned it for 4 years, in that time I only lost ?£1495 on depreciation. I chose it as I thought it would be cheap to run and insure. Appart from servicing it didnt cost me any extra money and the insurance was as good as you could expect with my license. It never failed me even after I had left it stationnary outside for 3 months. For its engine size it kept up well with other traffic (even on motorways) and it handled reasonably well. I would have no hesitation in recommending a similar car to anyone. I realise this flies in the face of other comments made about these cars however I stand by my opinion. The only reason I have not given it 5 peaches is that however hard it tried it wasnt an Aston Martin DB9!! |
