Its my first car and I am on a budget. That I care more about reliability than a badge!

Family love it!! Friends hate it because of the lack of room but they also love it because they don't need to get the bus!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. Cheap, Reliable and very fun! Also very easy to mod!

Wanted something with a little more power so my next car will most probably be a 1.4 Volkswagen Polo.

Very good deal. Was sat on someones drive for nearly a year and they were happy to get rid. Once I wiped away all the crap I got a very clean, low mileage excellent car!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Reliability.

What was the dealer like?

Great!

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic! Doesn't feel underpowered and holds the road brilliantly! Great in snow/ice! Comfortably cruises along the motorway at 70+mph.

What's it like to park?

A doddle! Large windows, thin pillars and a very tight turning circle all make it a dream to park!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing! Needed a new gearbox but once new box was in it was fantastic! No Probs!

What's most practical about your car?

Cheap to run, Cheap (ish) on insurance (17 year old) and very reliable!!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Not many gadgets but it has to be headlight motor (moves headlights up and down).
