Summary
What does this car say about you?
Dared to be different
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They are under no illusions that I think this is the best car I've ever had. I'm probably the best advert August Motors (Salisbury) have ever had!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Certainly, maybe an EX
What are you likely to buy next?
Definitely a Honda.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£17,000
When did you buy the car?
June 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
No complaints, about 7% discount
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I was sick to death of the non-stop round of issues and lack of reliability with a Volvo V70 diesel and the terminal apathy from Volvo dealers. Decided to downsize.
What was the dealer like?
First rate throughout, even loaned me a new demonstrator Civic for 2 weeks while mine was delivered.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent, probably the best car I've ever had. Incredible performance and economy, handles like a dream.
What's it like to park?
Reverse parking takes bit of getting used to, use the mirrors (that's why they are so big). Should have reversing sensors as standard.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not a single thing
What's most practical about your car?
Fantastic use of space, unbelievable load carrying ability for a fairly small car
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
There is so much but the glass roof adds a real feeling of space.
