Summary
What does this car say about you?
It must just say I'm comfortable with the car and myself because I don't need to go out and buy a brand new flashy car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Family and friends have said I didn't you buy a newer car. To which I replied why buy a newer car when I can buy a car for less which I love to drive.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would love to buy this car again as it was fun to drive.
What are you likely to buy next?
I'm not sure what make or model but I know it will be a smaller engine sized car that for sure because insurance these days is becoming ridiculous.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It was great to drive, nice and powerful, had a lot of grip and also very comfortable.
What's it like to park?
It was very easy to park as your view of the bonnet was very clear, unlike a lot of the newer cars where you have a massive dash board inside the vehicle and can barely see the front of your bonnet.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not a lot went wrong with the car over the 18 months I owned it with is surprising really because of the age of the car. Just replacing two of the tyres and the back registration plate due to wear and tear.
What's most practical about your car?
The main reason I bought this car was because of the engine size because I was doing a lot of mileage on the motorway. Plus it had good boot capacity which is what I needed at the time.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It had a very good standard sound system in it.
