    Hi all,

    Just recently had to sell my car because it got too expensive to maintain with so many parts going wrong. I saw the quirky copen for £2100 and only 68k miles. Good history, and checked Mot history also and seems good!

    I read the manual about the turbo versions,l (which this car is). Is it usable as a daily? Are regular perishable parts cheap to fix?

    Used to have a White Copen, but I sold it in 2023
    Regular Oil changes are most important. You can daily it, but I would not drive super short distances.
    You can get "basic service" car party quite well, but some things like coil packs are very hard to acquire.
    I don't have the turbo version, but this is what I gathered.

    I daily mine. I find it just fine whether I'm driving only a few km for work or a few hundred.

    Just keep it nicely maintained and you'll be okay
