What does this car say about you?

That you have a great taste in style and fashion. And that you are a very cool person.

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

They love it. Mu neighbour thinks that it runs so smoothly and has great speakers. She even says it reminds her of her mini, she used to have which make her jealous, she loooooooves minis!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes because it is lowcost on petrol, a full tank costs £33.57 and it lasted three weeks and 2 days.

What are you likely to buy next?

Volkswagon 4x4 as it is bigger for my family but is still cheap running.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,495

When did you buy the car?

January 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes and no because it said there were electric side windows that fold when you park, but they didn't really fold at all. Yes because it has a cup holder, electric wiondows, power assisted steering, CD player all for £1495!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Yes, because before I had a Puegot 106 and it only had 3 doors, I was looking for 5 doors and a bigger engine, and boy did I get one. Also it was a smaller engine for petrol, which made it easier. And of course it's an automatic!

What was the dealer like?

Out of 5 stars it would probably be 4 stars. He offered to deliver it and was very fast with delivery. And was up for fixing anything that I didn't like. However, I could hear a funny noise coming from the exhaust, and he was shouting over it so I couldn't hear it. Plus he said it was because of how much people were in the car!

What's it like to drive?

It's really useful when going to town. It never needs changing in gear when it's going uphill, it reaches 60 and the hill I sometimes travel lasts for 5 mins. When on 70mph on the motorway it is a bit noisy with a little buzzing noise but is like a cruise to drive.

What's it like to park?

Excellent, I can't help but laugh at everyone when they stare at me in Kidderminster, the look on there face makes them jealous on how cool the car looks. Also it can park almost about everywhere!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Basically not. There was one where the exhaust pipe fell off. But it was just rear and tear really as the car had travelled 86,843 miles and I bought it at 65,333 miles so I was expecting it. Also the brakes were squeaking but I just needed to put some oil on it.

What's most practical about your car?

How it's a 1.3 and there is sooooo much room in the car because as you know my peugot was a 1.6 and there was less room. Also the windows are bigger. And the engine is sooo clean!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The CD player, as it has got big buttons that you can easily understand.
