Summary
What does this car say about you?
It was very me at the beginning but not anymore.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My husband thinks it is ugly. I disagreed with him at the start but now I think he is right.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, due to my unfortunate experience with it.
What are you likely to buy next?
I have already bought a Suzuki Sx4 as a family car but am still looking for a car for work purposes. No idea at the moment. Cars that are cheap to run tend to be not very pretty (Hyunday i10, Kia Picanto)

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Ok, but changing gears is not as smooth as I would like it to be.

The rear of the car is quite big and it sticks out. I have had sides of my rear bumper scratched by other drivers.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes - my clutch packed up last week, completely, without any prior warning. I was about to join a motorway and it was no fun. Despite the car still being covered by a warranty my garage tried to fob me off, claiming it to be wear and tear. Eventually they admitted that there was a defect in the clutch and fixed it for free but I found the whole experience very stressful.
What's most practical about your car?
It was cheap to run but I don't want the car anymore.
