No

£3,200

When did you buy the car?

May 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think I had a reasonable deal but they only wanted to give me the price quoted by "We Buy Any Car"I said no to that but wold accept the price quoted by Parkers, after a bit of huming and aring they agreed. They did very well out of it because the car was in mint condition and they sold it the same day, because the buyer rang me up to see if the cam belt had been changed.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was looking for a diesel automatic and this was at the right price.

What was the dealer like?

Not very helpful and my mistake was not asking for the car to be serviced. I had just got home from Nottingham when the service notice came up. I got in touch with them but they were not prepared to do anything about it although they gave a 30 day guarantee.

What's it like to drive?

Its a dream to drive especially on the motorway, but at 30mph it does not know whether to change up or not so it shuffles back and forth so you need to go at 32 for it stay in top.

What's it like to park?

Very Easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have only one complaint that is the top end of the steering column squeals when doing 90* turns, but otherwise it goes like a dream. I have another complaint which is only minor the instrument panel is black and in strong sunlight you can't read it.

What's most practical about your car?

The automatic fold in mirrors.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The automatic wipers which go as fast as needed when it rains.
