Had my current escunt for about 6 months now - never missed a beat and drives rather well. Gave £350 for it and then spent £300 on all new standard suspension, wishbones, bushes, top mounts and a pair of rear wheel bearings and it's spot on - Cracks on for 60 miles a day to work and back and does nearly 600 miles to a tank of whatever gets poured into the fuel filler

Currently on something like 150k on the original engine and it still goes well and doesn't burn any oil
