Did you get a good deal and why?

This is my second review 18 months on. It arrived on site while I was getting out of my old car, should have got abit more of the price. It was a hire car for it's first 18 months with a few scratches on the door which I did not notice until I found an old checklist from the hire firm showing where they were.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had a Seat Ibiza with the same engine.

What was the dealer like?

Ok, I was the first client for the salesman so he was a bit slow at sorting out the paper work etc etc.

What's it like to drive?

For a small engine it is very good.

What's it like to park?

Ok.

Have you had any problems with the car?

ECU light has come on a few times, needed to replace CAT and water getting into the back seats

What's most practical about your car?

Good size for a small car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Doors lock as soon as you drive off.
