Did you get a good deal and why?

I got an ace deal! I haggled and got a fab rate for the finance!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had always wanted one from the day I passed my driving test, but couldn't come up with a decent excuse to justify ditching mothers wee fiesta, but got a promotion at work and there was my excuse... a nice "wee" treat :)

What was the dealer like?

He was extreamly helpful! didn't push me into buying it, let me test drive it a few times and went through the figures with a fine tooth comb to make sure i understood everything, took an hour showing me how it all works, how to put the roof up/down etc

What's it like to drive?

Fab when overtaking, quick, stays on road when going round corners, no matter what speed I'm doing.

What's it like to park?

Not the best, the blind spots are a pain, especially when reverse parking, reversing or pulling out, I usually stick my head out the window

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not really, just discovered that I can't get a vallet for it as the gap between the windows and the roof lets water in, ever so slightly though, and also the base of the roof(between the seals) leaked too! but fine when it's raining

What's most practical about your car?

Very Reliable, Starts First time

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The heated seats, and how it heats up really quick. My old car took forever to heat up.
