Summary
What does this car say about you?
Im nit quite sure. Im onnly 21 and i can safely say it does not have a boy racer look. Im quite glad though, thats not what i bought the car for. It has an older person image however some cunning boy racer/racerette could easily modify it to suit.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all think it was a good buy.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definately, its suprisingly luxurious. A good first/second car.
What are you likely to buy next?
Im not sure, havent thought that far ahead. Hopefully i will keep this for the near future. Im hoping to get three years out of it and then look at something newer.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£1,100
When did you buy the car?
March 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
The deal was ok, knocked him down by a hundred that he quite clearly didnt want to knock off.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It was my first car and was looking for something with good history and low mileage, i found just that!
What was the dealer like?
Was ok, not bad but not particularly good either. Every bit they knock off is profit to them, i see that and understand fully.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its very nice to drive, you wouldnt think it for an eleven year old car but it is extremely smooth. Im lucky, i seem to have got one that was really well cared for. 1 Owner, 48,000 miles and a whole folder full of service history.
What's it like to park?
Easy peasy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet, thank god.
What's most practical about your car?
Its a good size. 1.4 zetec engine, nippy around town and loves the motorway. Having 5 doors is a benefit and the boot space is suprisingly big for such a small car. Its also easy to drive and park.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Ghia option is very nice. Colour coded interior. A/C, PAS, EL, Sunroof, what more can i ask than that.
