ive got one as a daily driver at the moment. bought it of my dad as i needed something for work.
Really good cars,comfy,quite economical if u drive it normaly as its pulling weight and very reliable.
ive done 20,000 miles in 11 months apart from the original water pump failing at 98.000 miles
its been a great car.
They arent the quickest cars in the world but if he looks after it and services it regular he should be good.
