Hi guys. Not long registered on here. I'm Dan from Oxford. Looking for an ATR at the moment. Owned a couple of Honda's in the past (Concerto, EK VTI and Aerodeck VTI). At the moment I'm driving a 306 GTI-6 which I have grown to love actually.Need a bigger car though as my other half is pregnant with our second child. Looking at an ATR at the moment. What are people thoughts on this car? Is the mileage a big issue?

Thanks in advance

Dan

Welcome Dan Posted Image

Have you had a read of the buyers guide on here? It'll help you a lot in your search.

And the car on pistonheads you linked... that's LiamTucker's old car. He'll be able to tell you if it's a good buy Posted Image

High mileage is more of an issue if the car has not been looked after/serviced properly imo. It says it has a full service history so he should have no problem telling you the recorded mileage at each service.

I think factory states oil should be changed every 9000 miles/every year. Somebody correct me on that one if necessary please. :)

I only had £1500 to play with when I got the '6'. Was only planning on keeping it for a couple of months. Ended up having it over a year. It really grew on me after a few mods. Very capable car. What's the best way to upload pics on here? Does photobucket work?

Not seen Liam for a week or so Posted Image pretty sure he'll get an email saying he has a message so will pop on at some point I'm sure.
From what I can remember, it's a decent car. The only thing that might make it cheaper at the moment is mileage and the market. It'll need new chrome tail pipes though Posted Image Not the fastest colour though Posted Image

Well just looked through all his posts and it seems like he's never had any problems with it. Even made good power on the RR with 117k on the clock. I'm going to take a look at this at the weekend as long as it isn't sold by then.

Are they expensive? Bearing in mind I can get Honda parts for cost price and fitted for free. Well I valet my mechanics car and he fixes mine when needed. Everyone's a winner!
