I bought my Marea second-hand from Stoneacres in Doncaster. From the outset, I have had numerous problems with the car. Many of these were sorted out by Stoneacres and I am grateful for the assistance given by their staff. However, since I bought the car in November, it has required 3 replacement injectors, 2 seat-belt buckles have failed, the rev counter works when it wants to and the windscreen wipers operate when I turn on the headlights. Some spares were difficult to obtain, therefore the repairs were delayed longer than average. The car is not economical with fuel and its powerful 16 valve engine means it is expensive to insure. Because of the adjustable driver's seat and steering column, it is ideal for disabled drivers (which is why I bought it).
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
A good start but writing a little more about the car would give you a very helpful rating. You say its not very economical...how many miles does it actually do per gallon? What about servicing costs? Read a few other car opinions to see what others have included. Hope this helps.
