hi and welcome !
i was the same on here for months b4 i got mine, the ones you are looking for are called wagons, dont know too much im still learing myself but id say low mileage is good but check if its import or not as insurnace does vary alot , listen for any loud tapping/knocking , check inner of tyres for signs of wear this may mean its seen alot of track action and a good service history is good , new cambelt every 40K i think .
all the best !

Can't beat a good Wagon mate!!!
I bought mine a couple of months ago..... Dark Green 00 with 53k miles...One owner from new and full SH
Best bet is to go for one with the normal FSH, MOT and if it's been looked after. The previous owner of mine had dogs, so I can only assume it wasn't thrashed (Alsations hanging on for dear life!) Make sur eit doesn't show any signs of mis-use etc!
I bought mine because I snowboard a lot. At nealry 6 foot my snowboard would not fit into a saloon, but it is just as fast and as modable as the saloons, just more practical!
When you get one, post a pic for all to see!
