Keep it serviced, whatch your belt changes (the 1.8 has a belt in the sump that runs in oil that's classed as a non service item - but needs changing with cambelt every 125k), passengers love the size, its all day comfortable driving, nice spec ~ my Edge has bluetooth, cruise, heated front screen, dark tints, massive boot and averages 45-48mpg round town...

Only down side is it'll never win a 0-60 race..


how many times a day do you have to do 0-60 tho?

0-30 is far more relevant
