Hi Fellas! are these cars as unreliable as rumor has it? would like to buy one around 2003 for the wife! and what sort of real mpg can i expect?
Thanks in advance!

I went to see a 2.4 JTD 170 with other 80,000 miles on the clock last night and mechanically it seemed like new if that's any consolation.

Can i ask why you didnt buy it? and i didnt know they did a 170bhp? what year did they come out?
