Good first car, reliable, looks good

Didn't buy from a dealer

No

£3,400
When did you buy the car?
September 2006
Did you get a good deal and why?
I paid £3400 for my 206 it had 42,000 on the clock and although this is just over book price the previous owner had just had 4 new tyre (£200) a major service and MOT done so seemed a good buy.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
First car for me so had to be something small and good looking also within my price range. The car had A/C and a Cd player two of things i really wanted.
What was the dealer like?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not that exciting steering is very light although that is good in town. The suspension is little soft but this rides well over the bumps speed bumps and potholes on many of the roads these days.
What's it like to park?
Easy as it so small you can get into really small gaps!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The exhaust went at around 45000 miles although this is just down to wear and tear and cost £75 for a new one. The brake switch kept sticking although once I had found it (its on the passenger side) I managed to fix it in about 2minutes.
What's most practical about your car?
Being a hatchabck when the seats are dwon the load space is huge you can get about 10 black bin bags in it to go to the tip.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Controls for the stereo next to the steering wheel and A/C of course!
