It's a practical car, that's all.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Low running costs in general.

Very helpful and professional.

Reasonably fast, can do 100mph fairly easily and also handles pretty well. Easy to park. Quite slow on initial acceleration. Have to use the gears a fair amount being a relatively small diesel.

What's it like to park?

Not the best, but reasonable.

As I've done 28,000 miles yes, but probably to be expected, new clutch, brakes, injector service, fuel lines and several smaller things.

Low running costs, yet quite a big car feel.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Quite a good sound system as standard.
