Summary
What does this car say about you?
It said I was after a car that fit the bill and would last a first time buyer!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends thought the space was good, though a 5 door would've been better. My family were impressed with cheap running costs and reliability.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes and no. I would recommend it to a first time buyer, but due to wanting a bigger car, I'd have no reason to buy another (couldn't live with it forever).
What are you likely to buy next?
I bought a Chrysler Delta after a year of ownership.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£3,995
When did you buy the car?
July 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
The price was good and sat in the bracket I wanted to spend on my first car. The mileage was reasonably low compared to others, so overall the price was right.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Good value hatchback, ticked all the boxes!
What was the dealer like?
Friendly, answered all the questions I needed, seemed to know what he was talking about.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It was fun if you showed it a good time, and good if you decided to be economical. Hills were a chore, if you weren't in third gear giving it a good thrashing it's likely you wouldn't increase speed, but otherwise, handling, acceleration (on flat) etc. was all very good.
What's it like to park?
Very easy - parking sensors only made things easier, and the steering was light allowing easy quick steer.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope. Never had one issue in it's life - reliability was absolutely brilliant, never had a fault during my ownership.
What's most practical about your car?
The space was very good for a 3 door, and the access into the back was good, simply flip down the seat with one lever and that was that!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It didn't have all that much to shout about, air con was brilliant and cool, the MP3 aux I had installed from Peugeot freed the glove box of CDs too.
