Pros: For my good car, it works perfectly, it has 275.000km and 18 years old is 1.6 petrol, and of breakdowns I had to change the ignition coil as it sometimes gave me jerks (at 265.000km~) internal intake manifold (at 250.000km~) throttle part (at 240.000km ~) the clutch at 230.000km because when my sister and I got my license we used it, and it did not hold so much.
The other ordinary maintenance and changes, the front shock absorbers lasted me until 260.000km and the rear ones I changed them around 230.000km, because I had a slight fault in itv.
The electronics are all good, except the radio which I changed for one with usb, although the original one lasted 12 years without problems.
For my experience I am very happy with the car, I have taken care of it, revisions a year, visibility of mirrors is very good and normal consumption, the only thing that would be missing is a 6 gear, the gearbox is perfect, it does not shake or goes very loose, it goes like the first day.
I recommend this car if it has been well looked after, I will extend it as long as I can.
Cons: I have no complaints about the vehicle, I am doing very well with its 18 years and 275.000km behind it.

Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Bodywork relatively well resists corrosion;
Reasonable spare parts and repair cost prices;
Well fuel consumption;
Reasonable price.
Large trunk.
Cons: Loud engine (diesel);
Hard suspension and bad sound insulation;
Bad gear-box. In city - at 55-60 km/h h with a third gear RPM is - 2300 from 2000, which is a bit too loud and uneconomic (6.0 - 7.0 to 100), but with 4 gear RPM ranges from 1400 - 1600, and at such RPM engine power is low, on inclination engine is working hard.
Stiff clutch pedal;
Diesel has less power than petrol engine with similar capacity;
Just – driving is not pleasure... It's just a mean of transportation.

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A good design, well equipped even a standard version, roomy interior (Caravan). Good capacity / efficiency ratio. I had 1,7cdti engine with 101 bhp it's ok, but better to take a 110 or 125zs and 6 speed gearbox, consumption will be approximately 0,5l higher, but dynamics will positively surprise you.
Cons: Problems with manual transmission - has to be inspected on buying for no unnecessary noise, and in order to crank "hitting arm" while driving. Soot filter at 200000 km, almost at end.
