Summary
What does this car say about you?
I feel I look professional, yet stylish. I went for the black version, my husband wouldn't take the Pink in for services for me.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
This car has become the family car, when my husband and I go out, we prefer mine over his Toyota MR2 for ease of getting in and out, boot space, and room for the dogs on the back "ledge".
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes! Yes! Yes! I adore the C+C.
What are you likely to buy next?
If they're doing these, I will, but it'll be years! I intend to keep my C+C until she reaches the end of her life.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£5,500
When did you buy the car?
March 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
The recession had already started to negatively impact sales prices. Additionally, got an extra bonus as we bought another car at the same time.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I adored my 1996 Micra, which was getting long in the tooth. I intensely dislike the new K12 standard Micra build. The C+C is a happy upgrade!
What was the dealer like?
Nice and friendly, although other salesmen within the dealership were less so.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The 1.6 engine is a must. It's got a lovely, throaty purr when you accelerate away. It flies like the wind if you want, and can keep up with other cars, something I'm not used to from my K11 1 litre.
What's it like to park?
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The alternator belt squeals on wet days. During dealer service, they stated that there was nothing wrong with the belt. It rained the next day, and squealed again. Suspect this could be resolved by a replacement belt.
What's most practical about your car?
I don't need a back seat, I commute alone. It does work a treat for shopping, as the boot is huge compared to the K11 body.
