personally i think there great value for money, clutches are dear we have got two put a clutch in our 2001 one recently cost us 450 trade for the kit!!

you do get little grimbles like tyre pressue sensors lighting up but the system can be deactivated, yes turbos go on them every 100k.
our 02 plate one we had to put rear subframe bushes the other week, only couple hrs and £30 though so not end world

both ours have sat nav leather nice alloys all electrics, 6 speed go well too, but sit at 70 in sixth superb mpg, but the main reason is they rate 5 stars on the crash tests and are full of airbags, v v v safe cars, people allways forget these things when buying cars, my kids go in our cars i want them to be as safe as poss
