Pros: A very economical and reliable car. I would definitely drive it more, but time is passing and the body is not the same any more.

Dynamic car- even with the 1.6D 66kw engine you can overtake other cars and consumption doesn't hit you in the pocket. Roomy boot, three medium persons can sleep comfortably on a tour. Overall, cheap to run, economical to maintain. If you keep it in good working order, it will get you from A to B without a problem.
Cons: The older it gets, the more it rusts. Others may find the seats uncomfortable, but I'm not complaining.
