eddyramrod Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The Motability car comes on Tuesday so I thought it was time to open this up. So, what are you getting for your hard-earned? 2007 (57) Chevrolet Tacuma CDX+, 2.0 petrol auto.Mot JulyTaxed as DisabledBought it in 2013 (see my Car Trek thread here http://autoshite.com/topic/13740-car-trek/page-2) and really, it's done nothing to write about since then. It's just been a jolly good car. Oh the two front tyres were new a few weeks ago. Got a matching full-size spare, at vast expense, but I'll give you the spacesaver as well, obvs. Bad pointsMinor scuffs here and there, but seriously, very minorTailgate latch is a bit sticky, in that when you open it, the handle doesn't return so you need to do it manually. Bit of WD would probably solve that, but I've just been living with itIntermittent wipe doesn't work. The wipers may or may not move up the screen a bit, but are very unlikely to come down. Put it on constant speed and they're fine, although self-park is a bit haphazard. And really... that's it. It's a nice car to do long-distance in, we've done several trips of 400 miles each way. It isn't the most economical but it's acceptable. Aftermarket reversing sensors fitted, and working. Autoshite sticker in rear window! £1.50 saved already. 1. Cavcraft, courtesy of Egg2.

pandamonium Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Jesus, what have I done. Just looked at the tax rate It was this that killed these off as a viable family car. I had a 2001 model, and although it was just a Cavalier in a fat suit it was perfectly acceptable transport, ok to drive too. One random for me. catsinthewelder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thank you. I think that's a very fair assessment. Just for example, it's tall enough inside to stand a wheelchair upright, and you can still use two of the three back seats! purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes oui si Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Tbh, the only offputting thing about it is the 30mpg of the 2.0 auto, other than that they just soldier on - I've known a few people who have owned them before and have all reported them to be pretty perfect white goods motoring. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
