What does this car say about you?

Trendy, sporty and careful with my money!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most friends like it and want to have a go in it. Parents think it is a like a toy. Usual comments about being too small and only being a 1.0 litre.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. Great first time buy. Maybe looking for something with a bigger boot in the future.

Have been looking a maybe getting a Citroen C4 next.

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£8,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think so. Good discount on the base model if I brought on the day. Didn't get anything off the options or anything thrown in for free though.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a cheap to buy, cheap to run small car with attitude.

What was the dealer like?

Professional, if pushy to get the sale. Took me seriously although I was only 22. Didn't discuss or offer all the options and accessories though.

What's it like to drive?

Very fun. Doesn't feel like a 1.0 litre at all. Very quick to get off the line, and the exhaust note is sweet. Handles like on rails. Not too noisy at speed, and will comfortable cruise at 80mph. Can be slow with 4 adults in it though.

What's it like to park?

Very easy. Good all round vision. Size means finding a parking space is much easier.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing in two years yet.

What's most practical about your car?

It has to be the cost to run. 55MPG, £35 a year tax. With the cost of petrol going up all the time, this is a sensible option for an everyday car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Everyone notices the sticky out rev counter. Ipod connection of stereo as standard is handy too.
