What does this car say about you?

Sporty with fine lines - only joking :).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone likes my car, one of my work colleagues liked it so much she bought one too.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Having lived with this car for the last 15 months probably not - reason being I've always had large cars BMW Jaguar Audi etc, I wanted to downsize but I'm thinking it's a little small for me and i miss 4 doors. Having said that it is a really nice car and I hope I haven't put anybody off buying one.

Don't know really, but it will be something bigger.

June 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Styling, looks & handling.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was informative and helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Given the problem i had with the struts it has good rod handling. I opted for 16L automatic which is a pleasure to drive.

What's it like to park?

Due to the small rear side windows and the high-line back window I chose to fit aftermarket reversing sensors, they have made parking a lot easier.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I'd only had it a week and noticed a slight rumbling from front passenger side suspension, I took it to my local dealer and they replaced the front strut - no quibble. It has recently been back for the rear strut same side - again no quibble. It has also been back in-between for product recalls.

What's most practical about your car?

There is good leg room and loads of space in the boot with the seats up or down.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Steering wheel controls, usb socket.
