I didn't 100% intend to buy this car, I was just looking for an estate car that was comfy and I could also use for work, this came up on ebay, I expected it to go for a lot more than I was prepared to bid but I won it and Im now very happy that I did, fair do's its not that fast but I'd rather it be a little slower and manual than a faster auto, never know if I keep the car long enough it could end up with an engine swap.
