What does this car say about you?

a little bit flash

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

everyone loves the look of it. very imposing. looked brilliant in black with the blacked out rear windows

Would you buy this car again and why?

yes...but something maybe better better in a few years. My choice was a Mazda 6, Leon fr, or a Mondeo. Sometimes i wished I had got the FR for the performance but the inside they are a bit naff.

What are you likely to buy next?

New Leon FR..or what ever suits my needs which is cheap on the company car tax

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

November 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Company car...but it was the best spec I could get for my entitlement.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The looks....when they come head on the look fantastic.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer is ok...if a little slow to respond, but it's a lease car so they are not that bothered

What's it like to drive?

very good. nice ride with good handling. engine a little noisey but not to bad. wish i had waited for the 2.2d as it needs a good push of the right foot for it to get going. really easy to get bogged down in the gears

What's it like to park?

dead easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

Head light washers froze out solid (on funky little arms that pop out of the bumper) in the winters snow. Had to go in to be re-wired. Also strange burning smell from rear end and the ecu was re-mapped as the engine would "cough " at speed

What's most practical about your car?

Blue tooth is fantasic for work. Very large boot and great space for the kids. Nice ride and handling.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Blue tooth, bi-exieon head lights, smoked out reat winndows, heated seats ...oh and the BOSE stereo...very loud
