Conversely, bought one with my own money and ran from 70k to 110k miles in 3 years. Would still have it now if not for 3rd child.
Cost me nothing apart from servicing, consumables and a battery.
Good looking to my eyes, excellent seats. Good quality, functional interior. Electric tailgate on mine was fine and really useful. I used to drop half of the split seat and fit a hard tail in standing up with front wheel out.
Clutch problems were a factory issue and should gave been sorted on a well used one.
Handles and goes well, but very undramatic. Don’t expect to throw it around like a Ford or Beemer and don’t expect the turbo to kick you in the kidneys like a VAG. It’s more grown up than that.
They just get the job done and are really satisfying to own and drive. Would have another tomorrow. In fact, might get a post facelift saloon as my commuter as will turn out cheaper to run than a little hatch.
