Took my chance and bought a gen 3 yesterday. Its a looker alright but hardly celibate having been passed through 6 owners and I daresay a few dealers in its 10 years. I love the shape and the colour - metallic green - and its practically - good for carrying my diy stuff in the back. Thought the drivers seat was a bit low to see over the steering wheel but a thick cushion had me hitting my head on the head lining. Done about 250 miles to add to the 78k on the clock and liked the handling and responsiveness - its only a 1.6 but that's enough poke and fairly frugal with the juice. No service book so I will do a fluid change ( cam belt done) - the dealer did what was necessary to get the mot. Just hope it will be reliable. Got some issues which I will raise elsewhere. I'm in east Kent.
