Hi

Is this a good used car option? Heard some mixed things about these and trying to make a purchase decision. Anything to watch out for, or are these pretty reliable vehicles? About 200kms on the clock.
Thanks

Hi we haven't experienced many issues with this model sometimes the driveshaft hanger bearings can have problems. As long as it is well serviced they are pretty sound- mind you at 200,000km it would be a good idea to give it a once over...
