Did you get a good deal and why?

I thinks so, owner threw in a set of winter tires.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something that was going to be reliable and last me for a few years and have a bit of a quality feel to it.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

I find the 180 a good balance between performance and economy. It has long legs on the motorway and eats up the miles in comfort.Ride seemed a little firm on country lanes but got used to it. Holds the road very well.

What's it like to park?

Mine has black tinted windows and in low light you have to concentrate, even the wing mirrors appear dark. No problem with the size of the windows. The car is very maneuverable, light steering. The rear view mirror magnifies which took a bit of getting used to, but happy with it now.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Paint work still looks like new as does the interior. No problems as yet. I still find it a pleasure to drive. It has gone down as one of my favorite cars that I have owned.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size, easy to get in and out of. High driving position.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I like the hands free phone, good radio and speakers. I like the auto lights and wipers and the folding back wing mirrors.
