It’s a thought ! But one with a sunroof and maybe higher spec . With the hope this gets us past the ex taxi ones ?

I like the looks and just need a cheap runaround for 2 years

Max about £4k

You could go for a petrol one:

I didn't see many of these being used as a taxi most were 508's.

Cheers for the reply !

Petrol is good for us if it’s not terrible on MPG

Currently using a big diesel and even that gives is 55 mpg on a long run .

Any clue which is the better box ? I like manuals as I feels more awake when driving . Not had a Auto for 20 years 😂

With the petrol on a long run you be around a real world 40mpg, I have to say that the 1.6hdi engine doesn't have the best reputation for reliability unlike the bigger 2.0hdi this unit can suffer some catastrophic failures, for that reason alone I'd buy the petrol if you want a diesel I'd actually go for the 3008 you can get the much more reliable 2.0hdi engine & you don't really sacrifice that much space.

You also get access to the slightly more powerful petrol engine.
