    I had a test ride in one of these recently and found the same thing with the bonnet release. In part I put it down to it being primarily made in left hand drive and they hadn't changed it for RHD markets. Having to open the door to operate the lever was a bit strange too, but perhaps it's meant like that so you can't easily open it when you are going along?

    I own a 1.4 from the same generation as this one, and I can confirm the clutch is very stiff and has a lot of travel... after driving this thing in busy traffic my legs hurt... it's also a very delicate car, you really have to take care of it and service it regularly, the most expensive servise I have done on it is a fuel pump change and a service on the engine head, but only because it was after fitted with LPG... visibility wise it's not very good, you have huge blindspots on the the front and back pillars... it has a very steady and sporty drive, it has a lot of seating and storage space inside, and a reasonably large boot

    @@cimdahir5493 every 5000km is reccomended for an oil or filter change, and you have to use nicer oils and fuels... The suspension is great but after a while you might need to change the sway bar, bairings and things like that... The electrics are wonky so you often have to change bulbs or some wiring

    Hiya, decent wee motor I reckon. Not that clued up on the diesels, probably best to check the usual, history, leaks, matching tyres, good brakes, smoke out the exhaust, DPF replaced etc.

    @@damos_cars Thank you for replying and taking the feedback as it was intended. I’m sure it’s difficult to cater for everyone on here. I just found it a little slow personally - I was looking at test driving one of these today actually so from my perspective I needed to hear the driving experience, which to be fair you did get to, just took a while in getting there. You raised some good points during the drive which did help to inform me-just what I was looking for! So personally perhaps a little less on the walk around might help the content feel more on-point. Good luck with your channel 👍

    It's unfortunate to hear that you've had a negative experience with this car model. However, it's important to note that individual experiences can vary, and what may have happened to you might not necessarily be representative of everyone's experience. It could be helpful to provide specific details about the issues you faced to facilitate a more constructive discussion. Additionally, others may have had positive experiences with the same model, so it's always good to consider a range of perspectives before making a judgment.

    ​@@damos_carsIt's a total heap of junk. Mine was anyway, so I endorse the negativity. 207sw. Purchased new. 1.6 vti petrol. Got through 2 cylinder heads. One clutch. More than a dozen depolloution system faulty errors. Loads of sensors. Abs problems. Ecu problems. Timing problems. Stuttery running, lacks power. Useless up hills. Constantly low idle. Serviced impeccably by main dealer from new. SCRAPPED after 11 years and 21000 miles due to snapped timing chain and engine write off. What more can I say ? And that was just mine. Totally abysmal, It's put me off petrol engines, Ford ecoboost, wet belts etc. I believe the modern petrol engine has been built to fail, so for that reason I now drive electric. It's fantastic, and after 4 years with one I would sooner gamble on batteries and range anxiety any day. God help people who still have these petrol and diesel things. Maybe it's all a conspiracy to get us all out of our cars.
