Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's my wifes car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£7,800
When did you buy the car?
March 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
Very good deal as this one has all the extras including air con. I'd seen a new 3 door "Black" without air con for £7395 and used this as leverage. It worked.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Top spec at a bargain price, & low running costs. Year & plate is actually 2009/09 but it's shown as 2008/58 because there's no option for this reg on the form.
What was the dealer like?
Excellent, willing to haggle and come up with a competetive price.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a small 3 pot engine it has a surprising amount of grunt, not yet run in so can't really comment on full performance. A real gem for parking in town, decent ride on the open road and it gives the impression of being a much bigger car from inside.
What's it like to park?
A doddle.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No.
What's most practical about your car?
The running costs are minimal.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nice leather and alcantara interior, 7 spoke alloys & air con.
