My lovely old Marea Weekend 1.9 JTD is fast approaching the end of the road. It has a crunching 2nd gear, dodgy EGR, intermittent crank/cam sensor fault where the only way to start it is to rock it on the starter at touch then it's off. Worn out disks and, among other things, some kind of sticky red fluid that's building in the passenger footwell (lhs). Yet it refuses to stick its toes up!
The thing is I really liked this car. Well balanced and responsive. A lovely secret amongst all those badges you see out there and not as attractive to thieves.
Now I'm thinking of moving on I've been toying with a 1.9 JTD Croma. Will I enjoy such a car or should I look elsewhere?
My lad works for a fiat dealer and has told me to keep well away. What I would like is a 2007 Marea. Oh well.
