Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I am very poor and cannot afford a proper (German) car. Incidentally it also implies that I am getting on in life (proberbly bald) and have failed throughout. Its just a depressing statement to make that I drive this car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
I tell that that I do not own a car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would rather walk on broken glass.
What are you likely to buy next?
A Philipino.

No

£5,000
When did you buy the car?
July 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
Ok
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
None
What was the dealer like?
A business man through and through - no negotiating was tolerated- this is the price I am willing to sell the car no less (Felt like I was in France!)
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives like a boat, and not particularly good boat at that. Coming from a succession of German automobiles I was truly alarmed at how poorly this vehicles performs in every single aspect, and now understand why I have been getting frustrated at drivers of French cars when stuck behind them!
What's it like to park?
Just embarrassing - I park around the corner from my destination most of the time.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes - I bought a French car, of course things have gone wrong (simply too much to list from day one!)
What's most practical about your car?
I guess the fact that it gets me places quicker than walking when it works
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control (when it chooses to work)
