Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not much, it's pretty anonymous.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They hardly notice it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, it's a bit old now. Would have liked to have seen a turbo version of the 1.5d though, that would have transformed it I think.
What are you likely to buy next?
My only requirement for the runaround next time is common rail, air con and reliability. I heard that the Kia Rio is very good.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very refined for a small diesel, with an excellent ride. The glass sunroof all manufacturers seem intent on giving us robs some refinement. Not quite happy cruising at 80, and economy only reasonable nowadays. Pretty roomy inside.
What's it like to park?
Reasonable.

Living with it

Not quite as reliable as my last; snapped clutch cable (the only time it completely stranded me), and cold starting problems (not heater plug related, I have to warm them up twice on really cold days). Remote locking key stopped working (not battery).

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Power steering.
