Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£13,000
When did you buy the car?
June 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
It was a fairly good deal I think. Difficult to tell as the salesman will always tell you that you're getting a good deal!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always wanted a mini but had 5 children and horses so had to wait until they had grown up and we did not need a tank for transport any longer!
What was the dealer like?
Bought from Peter Vardy Mini. Showroom was ok. Salesman was nice but I wish they didn't do the whole, having to speak to the manager to get a good deal thing. It really puts me off.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives really well both in town and on the motorway. I LOVE driving it. Fairly nippy when it needs to be and will cruise along quite happily at 80mph.
What's it like to park?
SIMPLE:)

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A couple of the alloy wheels have bubbled. This happened fairly quickly and the dealership did sort out the first one but I felt that after a few months I couldn't go back with the second one. That is the only problem though.
What's most practical about your car?
I can park it anywhere!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the look of the dashboard with its large central speedo (which is totally impractical). The seats are really comfy and very supportive. Love my radio controls on the wheel.
