August 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yeah, not bad. It had spots of rust on it which I tried to tidy up.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Ok. The feel on the steering is good, but the overall driving position isn't the best. I'm 6ft 1ins and I had no problem with the fit, but there isn't much space between the seats. Engine roars and sounds good. Torque punch is excellent.

What's it like to park?

Good. Side visability could be better.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing mechanically went wrong. When I sold it in 2008 it was pretty rusty. I did look after it as well.

What's most practical about your car?

Hatchback
