Summary
What does this car say about you?
No idea. My husband calls it the Pope-Mobile, but it's more reliable than his car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
I don't know, although someone did say it looks good.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Maybe, although I do quite fancy a Honda CRV. Still, this has been quite good to me so far and passed my MOT just a few weeks ago with flying colours - the mechanic says it's a nice car!
What are you likely to buy next?
I really don't know until the time comes.
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£2,700
When did you buy the car?
September 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
They put the car up as a "sale" item and reduced it by £300.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I was looking for a possible crossover car which could handle the potholes on the track near home, plus wasn't expensive to run.
What was the dealer like?
A bit cocky.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's actually quite nippy. It's comfortable for me and I do suffer with backache quite often, but never in the car. It does manage the terrible track which I have to drive down to get home and it gets through snow OK - just have to be careful on ice.
What's it like to park?
No problem at all.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The clutch cable snapped and I can't get the air con to work properly. One thing about these cars is that the headlights aren't very powerful. Oh, the rear screen wash doesn't work now and I can't get at it as you have to remove the front side panel.
What's most practical about your car?
I find it comfortable to drive. I get 250 miles from around £42 of petrol.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It doesn't have any gadgets as such, but I do like the car.
