What does this car say about you?

Person with small children.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone likes the look and colour of the car.

Probably not. I've had too many little problems with it that have kind of put me off. Shame as it's a nice looking car.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably a Clio.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,500

When did you buy the car?

November 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. Didn't get a bad part ex price and also got a free years warrenty

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looking to upgrade from a smaller 3 door to a 5 door

What was the dealer like?

Good...it was the third car we purchased from them.

What's it like to drive?

Could be a bit pokier, it's ok pottering about town. Doesn't really sit well at speeds above about 50mph, feels like it could do with another gear. I don't find it very economical on petrol.

What's it like to park?

Easy, it has a flat boot so is easy to judge where you are when reversing.

Have you had any problems with the car?

YES...the sunroof has jammed open on a couple of occasion so had to have a new sunroof fitted. Passenger electric window broke and wouldn't close. Display was faulty and had to be replaced. Car kept losing power whilst travelling at speed. Gararge found the problem which was a faulty sensor that regulates the petrol going into the engine at the right time. Now it appears one of the doors has dropped slightly so it catches when you open or shut it.

What's most practical about your car?

Space inside. Plenty big enough for 4 adults.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I like the panoramic roof and the bike rack that slots into the bumper.
