Summary
What does this car say about you?
Well, lets face it, it's 7 yrs old and counting.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

No. Rather have maybe a 75, at least SX trim, although this one's better than the bargain bin S level. Wee bit more poke for overtaking would be nice.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something turbo diesel probably.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Handling can be iffy, but I think that's my zero wear, zero grip tyres. Willing engine tries its best.
What's it like to park?
P*ss easy. It's tiny, and unless you want to dry-steer, lack of PAS isn't an issue - and I've no muscles either.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Bought after only 25k miles and put another 30k on in two and a half years. Only problem I've had is cylinder head gasket just before 60k. Nothing else - hasn't even needed new tyres in that time.
What's most practical about your car?
Could do with splitting back seats, other than that big doors keep the passengers happy.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
On a base spec model there's few gadgets. Me I just love the heated rear screen.
