Had an old rusty escort and travelled 75 miles to get this one in Black Metallic

What was the dealer like?

Friendly but a bit pushy and more wanted me to pick the car up on his timetable and not my own

What's it like to drive?

sluggish first thing, takes a couple of miles to warm up then drives like a nippy sporty hatch

What's it like to park?

easy to park if you watch those chunky alloys

Have you had any problems with the car?

No nothing at all, watch the alloys on parking though, 16's on a small car you have to be wary i've got a couple of scuffs..

What's most practical about your car?

Handling, fun on country lanes and about the town..and with a bigger bhp than the standard 1.4 its got a bit of speed too

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Love the general looks of the car, it looks a lot more expensive than it costs, nobody would guess it cost me 8.5k
