its says I cant really afford anything to expensive. But its a quality car though
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My family really like the car and have always comment on how nice it is to be a passenger in smooth and quite. I have some larger friends who do struggle in with getting in it though. No leg room in the back if the front seats are back and if your over 6 foot it can be a bit cramped. My gran strugles to get in it to due to the fact they are a little lower than the average car but she throws her self in it and once in she is comfotable.

Yes I would buy 1 again of the same mode.l I did drive 1 of the more recent versions and didnt find it as nice to drive as this 1

Keeping this car until it dies if you get a good 1 it will go forever. Maybe buying an estate.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy to drive and if you put your foot down the vetec kicks in and it revs all the way round to 7k on the revs. Very smooth on the motor ways but great to drive around town too. I tend to take it easy and drive with the eco light always on but I can see why they are popular boy racer cars.
What's it like to park?
very easy to park no really issue with blind spots on the door pillors.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No nothing gone wrong did have a new stainless exhust fitted as the old was falling apart. Still going strong still have it regularly serviced. No major faults.
What's most practical about your car?
Very reliable car and a good mid sized hatch with the seats down can fit a lot in it as I found when moving house.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Air con is great never had a car with it before very nice for those odd days when it gets hot. Plus like the eco drive light on the dash which lets you know your driving economically
