General Comments:

I've bought this very very used car 2 year ago as my first car. The car was 20,000 kms after main engine repair. It is very reliable when taken in mind the age of it (16yrs). Consumption is great! (below 10 l/100 kms in urban cycle and about 7.5 l/100kms when running on highways). No special problems with it except normal wearing - clutch, dumpers, catalysateur. However the workshop manufacturing is poor so the cabin is very noisy when running over 100kms/h. Excellent engine, running always for the first ignition, no oil consumption.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
