Yeah the interior is quality, i love it.
And as for the cruise control, 3 buttons, the one at the top closest to speedo clocks turns it on, and increases speed, the one at the top closest to driver decreses speed, and the bottom big button turns it off, also slight touch on clutch/brake also turns it off. Only works from minimal of 20mph though  but its great on motorway!!

Cheers Andys 
Will give it a go on the M40 on the way home Where does it tell you what it's set to? MFD or screen with odometer etc on?

if your doing 70mph and press the button it will stay at 70mph, if you want to go faster press the other button and it will take it up at 2mph each time u press it, it doesnt tell you anywhere what its set it your speedo will just stay at what ever speed u set it at

Very nice I've been looking at C's again as they seem to be the only half decent car I can get for £4k.
But £3,895 is an absolute steal imho

Prices have plummeted recently. Mine with 30K on the clock was worth £3995ish apparently, ended up selling it on to my parents as the family runaround at reduced rates in the end.
Dave's picked up a good un though, especially at that price

Well I've just scouted AutoTrader. For anything under £4k you're either looking at a 1.4 SRi or 1.8 pre-facelift.
£3895 is a bargain!

Not many of them on AT will go for that price though I bet! Is annoying as plenty of people told me mine was over priced at £4100 when I advertised it a few months back!

Deano - A while ago I looked on AT with it set to any make/model under £4k and less than 7 years old iirc, and it was all Ka's, old Fiestas and mk1 Focuses
The owner has a company car now (Agila  ) so needed to get shot of this, hence the low price!
Rich, that Nielsen's stuff is fantastic

Nice, can't believe how cheap these are now!
I had an SXi+ in the past. The seats were nice, but nothing special. Exactly the same shape as the regular seats, just with the 'leather' sides. The rest of the interior is identical to SXi spec - same plastic everywhere.

No problem mate Depending on the mileage check whether the cam belt has been done as it needs doing every 40k. The PAS can break and generally make sure it's in good condition

Yeah, it's only a couple of hundred to get it done at Vaux, the owner of this car was saying that a replacement Z18XE is a couple of grand + fitting to have it done by them 
With all respect mate I won't, purely because I've visited the site a few times and can't stand the majority of the people on there. I'm quite happy with CS It takes enough of my time posting here without having to split it between two sites as well

CC|UK = epic fail  It's an awful site!
Seat bolsters wearing through on the C's is a very common problem - shite build quality unfortunately!

Yeah because he does lots of short journeys it's worn through to the extent that you can hold the bar in the bolster between your finger and thumb
