Summary
What does this car say about you?
Hopefully it tells every one that I am a bit more of a 'thinker' about what car I drive, I will never follow the 'boring,conventional,German' type of car buying habit - it is even Bright green!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They are all surprised about how good & comfortable it is especially the rear leg room with the seats slid back & the dog loves it!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes - it has all the 'goodies' I like, it is comfortable & easy to drive with very little cost. It has taken me all over Europe without any problems at all other than a few Punctures. Never Buy a car without a spare wheel!
What are you likely to buy next?
Sadly the only similar car I can fnd is the Citroen C3 Picasso but it is not available with a Diesel Automatic so I might have to look at something like a small 4x4 from a Korean manufacturer although most have too big engines.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very smooth with good Torque, the Quickshift Auto gearbox takes a while to understand but after almost 60,000 miles in both Auto & Manual mode I would have no hesitation in buying another one. It cruises to Portugal appx 4 times a year.
What's it like to park?
I bought this car after renting a standard Modus & realising just how easy it was to park - Parking is a complete 'doddle' especially with the Rear Parking sensors.
