What does this car say about you?

Not much probably, but it is quite stylish for it's price

They like it for what it is. Most think it's quite a good looking car and those that have driven it thnk it has "Italian brio"!

Did you get a good deal and why?

yes, the price was a few hundred less than other Bravas we'd looked at. Car was in very good condition.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a small, cheap car for running around and for my wife to use. My other car is a Volvo S60 T5

Friendly and helpful. Delivered the car to our house to save us going to collect.

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly quick for a 1.2 and also holds the road well (especially with new 195/50-15 tyres). Ride is a little firm though

What's it like to park?

very good. Good turning circle (unlike my S60)

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only the front shock absorbers, so far..

What's most practical about your car?

Economy and comfort. we use it to carry our mountain bikes (folding) and it does this with room to spare

Fitted new 15" alloys which make it look better!
