AI Market Summary

Compact, nippy performer with strong appeal; excellent fuel economy and fun-to-drive character hold resale value well in Irish market.
Pricing holding steady year-on-year — fairly valued relative to rivals. Stock is tight (7 active), so negotiation room limited; expect median €23,450.
Electrical gremlins common: dashboard warnings and infotainment dropouts require dealer software updates. Timing chain tensioner rattle on cold start reported; inspect for noise at engine start.
Before purchase, request full service history and confirm any timing chain work completed. Have independent pre-buy inspection check for electrical fault codes.
Direct injection engines accumulate carbon deposits; budget for walnut blasting (€300–500) if performance drops or fuel consumption worsens after 80k km.
