Franchised

No

£5,000

September 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
I thought so, but I'm sure the dealers also thought so...

What was the dealer like?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Much more thirsty and less powerful than I imagined. Getting 32mpg. Auto can be jumping around, so often I need to hold it in gear on hills. Cruise control works but has a large amount of tolerance, as speed can be up to 5 mph different from what was set.
What's it like to park?
Just as expected from this type of vehicle.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing consistent. Stereo doesn't work, so about to be replaced.
What's most practical about your car?
Adaptable space & access to boot through rear window.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control. I am very confused by my model, as it has leather seats & cruise control, but no trip computer, no heated seats or no sunroof. So it doesn't quite fit into either GLS or CDX spec.
