Summary
What does this car say about you?
Poser....lol
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Some comments about the brand name, but once they investigate closer they are amazed with the spec and quality... Then they comment about the poser looks..lol
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, maybe I would try and find a turbo model next time - they fly even better than my none turbo. Auto option may be nicer to have too - I have tried one and it makes the driving effortless
What are you likely to buy next?
Musso 2.9 TD Auto?

Buying experience

Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
November 2003
Did you get a good deal and why?
Bought from eBay after a frenzied auction which resulted in a bogus bidder outbidding my every bid. Seller eventually realised and sold it to me for my original max bid.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted a practical larger vehicle which was versatile and relatively cheap to run
What was the dealer like?
Very friendly
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very comfortable, and ideal for both long and short journeys. Power steering makes it a breeze to handle. The power from 2.9 ltr Diesel makes it effortless to haul anything too
What's it like to park?
Unremarkable actually - belies the true size of this - I find it no problem fitting into the smallest car park spaces etc.. Visibility is very good all round.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Vehicle came with a few niggles which were expected. Some have already been fixed, other not so important ones are waiting to be fixed. MOT showed up wear and tear items but getting parts is easy with knowledge from owners club!
What's most practical about your car?
Huge space inside, has proved its practicality with house moves / eBay collections etc etc. The double bed is a feature which has been used - very quirky to have that in the owners instruction manual!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I have legal tinted windows all round for security as well as enhanced looks + chrome bull bar with spots up front. Side steps are uselful for vertically challenged passengers too!
