Nothing.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

July 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

They advertised the car on the forecourt for £3000 more than advertised on Autotrader. Got the car for Autotrader price after complaining.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Salesman was fantastic, he didn't have the you cant afford it attitude. After sales is very poor, I have had to chase for work to be competed. Service reception man, should have been a technician as he has so much knowledge. NOT!

What's it like to drive?

Being a mere Woman it generally only gets driven around town, you have to be quite heavy on the right foot to get moving at speed, this then causes whiplash injuries.

What's it like to park?

Fine as long as the PDC is working.

Have you had any problems with the car?

PDC have failed, rattle from boot lid (apparently because I wasnt shutting the boot correctly, my husband adjusted it himself), black window trims have mottled (apparently hard water has caused this?) OBC has started switching itself on and off!

What's most practical about your car?

Space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Comms pack.
