With a Fiat Marea 20v HLX.
Opinions so far.
It's quite quick. They handle like a 156. All the toys work. Decent stereo. Comfy seats.
Can't really think of much bad to say about it, apart from maybe the styling and the colour (a sort of metallic beige.... 'Jewish Racing Gold', possibly....)
It's about as mint as an 8 year old car can be - the only problems being a blown bulb in the dash, meaning it's almost impossible to see the trip and odometer, and a minor crack in the rear bumper.
2 owners and 64k miles from new, belts changed 2 years ago on 38k miles.Many thanks to PeteM for firstly spotting it in Autotrader and secondly for giving it the once over before my trek north this morning.
I'm well pleased.
They're just so wrong as a concept, they have to be 'cool' (as in TG 'cool wall').
