Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I have a family but wanted a bit of French va-va-voom!!! (Yeh right!)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it but the people who have actually been in it like it more as it is soooo practical.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Defo, a new version. I'll have to check the company car entitlement when mines up.
What are you likely to buy next?
A cheapo run around for the Missus as she is having lessons (get off the roads!!!!)

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£3,000
When did you buy the car?
April 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
Didn't budge on the price but i was willing to pay it. Low-ish miles on it (60K) and it was immaculate.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Needed a motor to transport to family around in comfort. Wanted a Multipla but there wasn't any around when I was looking.
What was the dealer like?
Good. Wanted to do the deal so threw in a 3-months warranty on top.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A bit van-ish, but no too bad. Nice high driving position.
What's it like to park?
Very easy as it has a flat back.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Exhaust started knocking after about a week. Took it back and fixed it there and then for free. 2 weeks later the alternator packed-up but again the dealer replaced it for free. Jobs-a-good-un!!!
What's most practical about your car?
No transmission tunnel in the rear seating area is a boon for extra space. Miles bigger in the back than my company car, Focus C-Max
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Just all the storage and being able to remove the seats makes it into a van.
