Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had a 2003 Fabia estate and wanted to replace it with a newer model.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, approachable and enthusiastic. Also accomodating when I was running late and allowed me time to sell my old car privately.

What's it like to drive?

It's set up more for comfort than performance and is quiet and refined on long journeys. The power is adequate, nothing more.

What's it like to park?

Easy to park due to short length and big side windows.

No

What's most practical about your car?

The 426 litre boot is great for moving large items.

Air conditioning is great in the hot weather.
