Didnt get a good deal as the they didnt offer me much for my P/X and gave me a stupid APR of 23%.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a fairly quick car which looked good and also had a built in Sat Nav Screen.

What was the dealer like?

Ok but tried to do me over.

What's it like to drive?

Quiet on the motorway, you can cruise easily at 85-90mph without any noise. Sharp steering

What's it like to park?

No parking sensors so was a little bit of a nightmare because you couldnt see the nose or the boot either.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Needed 4 new tyres after about two weeks and the locking wheel nut was the wrong one. It has a funny clicking noise in the engine but even Jaguar dont know what is wrong with it. Now the ABS light and engine management light have come on and the boot cant be closed. Someone has also slit my tyre and someone went into the near side front wing and there is a huge dent now.

What's most practical about your car?

It has a large boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Built in Sat Nav
