It certainly is. A very nice car, although if I bought it the silly exhausts and Vitesse badge would be coming off straight away.

I've been trying to persuade my Grandad to replace his 2014 Toyota Yaris with it as he was quite impressed when I showed it him last week but I'm not having much luck!

It started off at £2995 now at £2000. It's fast becoming a bargain!

Also, how's my old car? Done anymore jobs on it?

I'd agree with the exhausts, but I sort of like that badge.... it's different! Just needs some TLC

Well your old car has been refusing to start quite a bit! It seems to like to have more than 1/4 tank of fuel at all times, it'll need brakes and a damn good engine flush too, as the tappets are clattering like mad when you try to get a shift on! Still providing reliable, comfortable daily transport, but wishing the air con was working today....

Yes James said about it having trouble to start when I rang up about my alternator, which really surprised me as I've never had any trouble.

Several people have told me you should always keep a 75 above 1/4 of a tank but I can't remember exactly why. I think it's to do with the in tank pump?

I imagine it gets a bit warm in there without the air con in weather like this! As I bought the car in August and sold it at the beginning of May it wasn't too much of a issue.

We tried to re gas the air con at work not long after I bought it, and if I remember correctly a pipe has rubbed through.
