What does this car say about you?

That I'm a modest driver?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They thought it was a good buy, with excellent mileage (24k in 9 years).

I would - but only if I needed another small car. As I've started doing a lot of long motorway trips, I think I need something a bit less basic.

Something more Clio/Fiesta sized.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

September 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Great deal as seller bought it for his son, who then didn't want it, he just wanted his money back.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I'd just had my previous car written off.

What was the dealer like?

N/a

What's it like to drive?

Easy - I was a nervous driver after I passed my test, this is so simple to drive, easy to park, I love it.

What's it like to park?

Brilliant - tiny turning circle and will fit in the smallest of spaces. Easy to manoeuvre.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Rust! It needed a lot of welding underneath on the first MOT I put it through - typical for Kas. Both sills went, and there's a lot of corrosion underneath. Also needed timing belt replaced, but this was just wear and tear.

What's most practical about your car?

The size, I can park it anywhere.
