Yes
What price did you pay?
£11,000
When did you buy the car?
March 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes the dealer matched an online price and saved me having to go to Bristol to pick an online car up. He also gave me blue tooth as an additional extra.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
What was the dealer like?
He was friendly and informative without being pushy. He was in the same franchise as our local town's dealer but way more helpful so it paid to venture out into another nearby town.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is great to drive both on short journeys and also very impressive on long 3 to 4 hour journeys. It cruises well on the motorway and sometimes I do not realise how fast I am going as it feels so smooth and it is only a 1.4 engine.
What's it like to park?
I am not a great parker! but find this car very easy to reverse into a parking space. It also manoevures out of very tight spaces really well.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with it but you would hope to have a couple of years motoring free worries if you buy new.
What's most practical about your car?
It is nippy and compact but can happily carry 5 adults when required. The boot is a reasonable size also.
