My thoughts on them:

Interior is worse than the Mk4, awful dash vents ETC.
Economical
Nice to drive
Feel modern

Sounds like yours has had a fair bit of work so is probably worth keeping as a decent daily.

I have a MK6 1.7 CDTI and it performs faultlessly for a daily hack, although mines the 130BHP SRI.

I quite like the dash tbh, looks pretty slick and simple. I just dont like how everything feels so light and disconnected. But keeping it for the safety factor over the 306 (airbags mainly) for a family car.
Having the celica as my daily and i think i'll end up just keeping the 306 parked on the drive as i doubt i could let it go. Made that mistake once already
