Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£6,998
When did you buy the car?
April 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
I think i got an okay deal because it was slightly under priced due to the fact it was an ex-rental car for Europacar...although they didn't tell me that till i got my new v5 through...it had only done a few thousand miles was in mint condition and i bought it before they even got it from the company..
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
My friend had a base spec one and i loved it since she bought it a couple of years ago and that made my mind up for me!
What was the dealer like?
Bought from Arnold Clark. Reeled me in then sold me the car without manual, spare keys and telling me it was owned by a company that went into Liquidation...total lie..Europcar are still doing business! Wouldn't even give me free mats worth £15 when i was paying outright!!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely...nice and smooth but hitting a big pothole causes a crashing thud throught the car...okay though
What's it like to park?
At first...soo hard, big A, B, and C pillars obsruct alot but huge wing mirrors compensate and you get used to the lenth of it etc even though you can't see them

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
the Airvent at the windscreen popped off and i got it fixed no bother free of charge...not really a problem to be honest...
What's most practical about your car?
SPACE- it feels bigger than my mums new Astra inside and my family think so too...the engine is nippy so good around town and brilliant on motorway..
