Independent

No
What price did you pay?
£1,000

August 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, as they wanted rid of the car quick to make room and so I got it for almost half its actual value.

Was the sportiest car I could afford insurance on!!

A wheeler-dealer place in the backstreets of Manchester.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent, it is very smooth and nippy, great round town, fun on country roads and an excellent motorway cruiser - even at a constant 90mph!
What's it like to park?
Because of the slanted angle of the rear windscreen it is difficult to see out the back.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The windscreen wiper motor went 2 weeks after I bought it. Apart from 3 tyre changes due to wear and tear and a timing belt change, it has never let me down and has never left me stranded at the roadside! The electrics can play up, especially the cd player.
What's most practical about your car?
I wouldnt say anything was particularly practical, but being a coupe what is impractical is the lack of rear legroom!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The electric sunroof, 6 cd multichanger and leather seats that come with the high spec model like mine.
