I think I could have probably paid less. But teh car was in great condition and the driver had taken great care of it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

As a first car I found it really easy and lovely to drive. Even at 13 years old it was very responsive and despite being a 1 ltr engine it accelerated brilliantly. Also its gold and I wanted a gold car :).

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful and friendly.

What's it like to drive?

Amazingly for cities and even on teh motorway. Being a one liter engine, driving in the lake district did put strain on the engine and meant a lot of driving in 1st gear.

What's it like to park?

Really easy due to size.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only cosmetically. I had to change the windscreen wiper.

What's most practical about your car?

I like the fact that the dash board is all contained in the amazing tunnel. It means a quick look for all info. Also love the size for parking in London.
