AI Market Summary

Compact, fun-to-drive urban car with strong resale appeal; good fuel economy for the class and nimble handling.
Price holding firm with modest 8% annual growth — fair value for 5-year-old stock, though beware inflated asking prices on low-mileage outliers.
Electrical gremlins (dashboard warnings, infotainment dropouts) common; timing chain tensioner rattle on cold start typical from year 3–5 onwards — budget for potential repairs.
Before purchase, request full service history and check for cold-start engine rattle with engine off/on cycles; verify all electrical systems and infotainment function properly.
Carbon build-up on direct-injection engines reduces power and economy by year 5; walnut blasting (~€800–1,200) may be needed if performance feels sluggish or fuel consumption spikes.

3/5
