Maybe a Toyota Aygo or Renault Clio

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not really, one tyre was worn below legal limit and no offer of a needed service was available if bought. They did repair the dents to the body work and damage from the previous owner.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Unhelpful like most Peugeot dealers.

What's it like to drive?

Notchy gear change, sometimes it feels like it is just going to give way and break. 1.4 Engine is frugal and fun.

What's it like to park?

Easy to park whether parallel on streets or into supermarket car park bays.

Have you had any problems with the car?

CD player refuses to play CDs from time to time. Airbag warning lights comes on from time to time then goes off when restarted. Took Peugeot 2 weeks to fit their standard thatcham alarm to it because of electrical faults. Brakes squeeked. At 40,000 miles it has started cutting out while driving and not restarting. AirCon packed up.

What's most practical about your car?

Good sized boot space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Airconditioning.
