    Tinted windows - I would drive it no problem.
    Anyone noticed gear changes on the speedo? Does it have three only, or the other two are useless? Still good idea for the car with no rev counter.

    That's the top of the gears. Otherwise getting up to 20mph before you select 1st would be a problem. :P

    Dare I say its actually ok, looks like it would be pretty comfortable on long drives. Might be in the market for a bangernomics motor soon, very tempted by this if I am.

    I think it's a half arsed "touch of Italian flair" cheapy looking interior. Muck savage.

    This is a red interior :cool:

    I've no doubt it's comfortable, but the red dashboard/steering wheel combo with the two-tone seats I doubt I could put up with.

    Way too much read in your red interior :) The seats are nice in the merc, cant say the same about the dash and the steering wheel.

    It may be a '05 car but it's from the late nineties underneath. Even with a fresh NCT, not a hope in hell I'd part with €1800 for it.. Sorry!

    It's actually even older than late 90's. It's chassis is from the 1992 Honda domani. However with fully independent rear suspension and double wishbone front suspension it's chassis is actually quiet sophisticated and moreso than what was on offer on most 05 cars in this class.

    The biggest let down in these cars is not their chassis but their iffy electrics and soft engines.

    The facelift like the one posted doesn't look too bad imo. I know it won't win any beuty contests or anything like that but it's no worse looking than many cars in that class.

    As for the interior even the revised version in the face lifted cars is fairly dated but calling it sh1t is a bit extreme imo.

    Whatever about the exterior looking like a cheap chinese saloon with nothing going for it the interior is abysmal.

    The fake wood trim and white dials are just the start. That said if you're used to interiors from Toyota's this wouldn't be much of a change! :P :D

    Probably more reasons not to post this than there is to post it.!

    20 years old.
    Boring.
    Auto.

    But it looks like a very well minded example. Be nice to see someone keep it on the road for another few years.

    Test until Sept.
    Two owner from new.
    88k miles.
    Asking €850.

    I kind of like the black bumpers..:o
    I drove this exact model - same year, spec and colour, back in 2002/2003. Mine was manual though.
    Sun roof prone to a bit of rust. Reliable, grand yoke, not much else to be said about it.!

    Irish Veyron with "cheap tax" (1.0 on the book) and a "miser on juice". WTF, who even went to the trouble of putting cash into this, either totally deluded or someone with a great sense of humour.
