Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing really, and that's why I liked it.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Nice looking supermini, although it's a bit girly.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No... FIAT has certainly improved it's product base, but the depreciation is a touch scary. I lost £5.5k in 12 months.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hot Hatch, most likely VW Golf GTi or Honda Civic Type R
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£10,995
When did you buy the car?
February 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
At the time, £2.5k off the £13.5k RRP seemed like a steal... Little did I know a year later the same model would be yours for significantly less than £9k.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
What was the dealer like?
Arnold Clark, Allison St, Glasgow. Good.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Best described as 'fussy'. Avoid the 17" alloys, it seems to ruin the ride.
What's it like to park?
It's teeny, so it's easy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Electrics. Trim. Electrics. Electrics.
What's most practical about your car?
Decent punch and performance and diesel frugality. Group 6 insurance excellent too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
'Blue and Me' hands-free interface. It shames much more expensive cars systems.
