Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I don't like the Ford Focus! - The new one looks like a french car. I think it mainly says that I enjoy a car which is a little different but top spec so care about how it looks and what it is like to drive.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Just think it's way more practical than previous 3 door car and looks really good.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably, depends on what the next Bravo equivelent looks like I guess.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure, nothing for a while yet!

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£8,995
When did you buy the car?
March 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, the price was reduced by £2000. A fair deal for a car with only 15k miles on the clock and in next to new condition.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
What was the dealer like?
Reasonable. The test drive was good and they used a good route to get a feel for the car on different types of roads. However I was disappointed with the workmanship of the valet the car received, they had only polished a few areas and the wheels weren't cleaned properly.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant, very quick yet fairly economic. It's a shame that as the reviews say, the steering does lack feel but I can live with that, it is still an excellent drive and very comfortable.
What's it like to park?
Fine, no problem at all.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No and touch wood nothing will.
What's most practical about your car?
5 doors and fair sized boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Blue & Me is handy but also had this in my Alfa. The climate control is also good (never had this before). Parking sensors are handy as is Cruise Control. However as it is the Sport model which appears to be slightly lowered, had side skirts and 18" alloys really make the car look good.
