Hi Guys
I'm currently driving a 61 plate Octavia VRS petrol which is a great car but i'm considering selling up and paying off some debts and therefore purchasing a cheaper car. The cheaper car still needs to look very respectable, be reliable and economical over a commute of 4 miles each way plus site surveys during the week within Norfolk.
Before the VRS i was and still am a big Jap fan and have owned numerous Honda's among others in the past.
I have stumbled on an 06 Facelift 2.0 i-vtec EX with 72k and fsh. It's up for sale at £3599 at a local Honda specialist.
Now this seems quite pricey but i must say the car looks absolutely mint in the pictures below and implies it's been very well looked after. The only drawback is that it doesn't have sat nav and I am not a huge fan of the small wheels but that could be sorted and is me just being picky.
So my question is, do you think it's worth a look at this price and is the 2.0 engine any good? I know it will not feel like the VRS but will it feel reasonably powerful?
Thanks in advance, Mark.
