Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Polite and re-assuring.

What's it like to drive?

Not so smooth round town because of its' revvy engine and gear changes aren't as smooth as I wanted, but on dual carriageways and country roads it's a very nice drive and it's quite quick for a 1.4 as it's a twin cam. So over 4000 rpm it's quite responsive. A fun car.

I found it very easy to park although the turning circle isn't very good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Problems with the gasket and alternator.
