    Would be my choice if I wanted a car....in many ways, they were much better inside than the face lifted version which came in 2015. And like many end-of-the-line pre face lift models, they had all the whistles and bell's.

    Spotted 10 or 15 bangernomics on local Facebook pages today. Seems to be the best place to get them these days. Pity you can't post links. It's free to post so I'm assuming people selling their cheap yokes are going there instead. Mind you there's a LOT of dodgy cars being posted there too.

    Well, in all things Emptor Caveat ( regardless of what the Law say's ) but especially where car's are concerned, and Facebook in particular !!!

    Haven't the mazda's of that era a bit of an issue with rust? Doubt I would want to be backing the rear of it anywhere near seawater.

    It's the engine I'd be more afraid of.

    If it's the 1.8 petrol that thing will go forever. sure the compression will be gone, but that engine is one of the rare solid ones.

    I know they don’t have the best rep reliability wise but I think the proportions of these are lovely. Fits the bill with NCT regardless

    Can’t argue the 406 coupe was a lovely looking thing. Shame good ones are so thin on the ground

    Great find Duke, not the most exciting but should be pretty reliable.

    Cheers, it really is a lovely car. I love coming across nice examples of ordinary cars, and this is one of them.

    I supplied the owner with a lovely little hybrid Honda Fit, and he is delighted with that too, but he is genuinely disappointed having to sell the Corolla, it’s getting a bit big for him.

    The religious orders must be the biggest car buyers in the country!
    Looks and sounds a good un

    And great buyers they are too! Cash up front every time ;)

    Lots of orders are reducing their fleet numbers drastically. The Yaris I posted previously belongs to a crowd reducing 10 cars to three, all Yaris’ and Corollas to EVs, most likely Leafs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,406 ✭✭✭alan partridge aha


    Sister is a nun, she has driven starlets,Yaris and her current car is an I20

    Looked up new car regs 2007, the reg number implies it's an import.

    No more Starlets to be found in convents any more :( I haven’t come across anything interesting at all

    I didn't think convents were still a thing. In my local town back in around 2005/06 nuns bought four houses in a new estate. These are semi detached houses but the nuns were built different than the rest of the houses in estate. They were hollow core so concrete floor upstairs instead of timber and were all connected. So you could walk from the forth house to the first one without leaving the buildings. There were extensions built in the gap between the two semi detached houses.

    An why i'm thinking are convents still a thing the nuns have long gone from those houses.
