Summary
What does this car say about you?
Hopefully that I like stylish cars that drive well, and that I demand the best in terms of spec
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Universally liked so far, everyone loves the leather interior and build quality most friends have smaller engines and are obviously jealous
Would you buy this car again and why?
Looked at possibly buying a Fiesta ST but I can certainly see myself getting a Ford in the future
What are you likely to buy next?
BMW 3 series coupe/Audi A3/Hyundai Coupe nothing less than a 2.0ltr for my next car :-D
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£3,000
When did you buy the car?
March 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Seemed a good deal at the time and seems even better now, knocked £200 off the price and the seller even spent another £150 for a new clutch
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Tried a few Fiestas and was looking for a 1.4 zetec when I came across this, much higher specced and for the same price
What was the dealer like?
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fast enough around town, I never have any trouble making progress or getting ahead at the lights and the handling is absolutely superb compared to corsas, polos and the like (electric power steering always feels numb)
What's it like to park?
Not as easy as the corsa despite being a similar size, the rear screen is small but decent wing mirrors mean I haven't hit anything yet
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Apart from the occassional blips in the egngine management (where the car wont start) its all been standard maintenance, but the 16"alloys do seem to be attracted to curbs
What's most practical about your car?
Practicality was not high on the list when I bought this car, same as my previous corsa with 3drs and a small boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Air con, leather, e/w & e/m, quickclear screen...so many things are great
