Stoney871 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 From personal choice you'd be happier with the 1.8 tdci. For £5000 you'll be within range of most of the higher spec ones. Basically with the 1.8 as long as it's been serviced on a regular schedule you'll have no worries at all. The 1.6 has a dreaded particulate filter on the exhaust and unless you do a load of motorway or A road driving you'll be likely to have problems as it needs a regenerative cycle carried out to avoid clogging with soot and carbon.

Preee Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 depending on the year , it could have auto lights , heated seats , auto washers , maybe half leather , front and rear electric windows with global open/close , sony stereo , rear arm rest , and a few more i can't think of right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
