Yeah the spaceship type? Will be a face lift at that age. Watch for it being mini cabbed.
2.0 barely uses any more fuel than the 1.4/1.6 and can move out if its own shadow. Smaller engines ok for city, but out on normal roads kinda struggle.
The diesels are great, quite loud compared to others that are newer but generally work very well, defo better than vag diesels of that age.
On diesels with a manual check for clutch slip, need to be open road in 5 or 6th, let off then full throttle. It'll either be fine or it will slip, they might have solved this by the face lift.
The estate/aerodeck version was made around then, super handy car but rare
