Big boot too, and looks better than an Octy any day. Not quite sure why they dump so much money but they seem to shed value faster than anything this side of a Vectra. Odd that. The only thing all the mags agree on is that they can be a bit noisey. That's odd too 'cos I've driven one and it seemed really good which just goes to prove car journo's spend too much time poncing about in free posh wheels and not enough time trying to persuade a shagged out £1k dog-end motor to start on a damp Monday morning .
It's the 143BHP one.

The price is about 1-1.5k under priced as it was a trade in. It's absolutely immaculate, looks like the thing was use with all the covers on the seats and the dash/console is mint too.

I wanted an octy but i'd be looking at higher tax, fuel, insurance, etc.
