New driver looking for something you can bump and bruise whilst learning the roads.

Just bought an astra twintop 2.0 cdti.

Independent

£800

When did you buy the car?

December 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes originally wanted £1200.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap insurance, ease to drive made it the perfect first car.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and professional, came in on boxing day for me to test drive and buy the car.

What's it like to drive?

Easy to drive, not very comfy after an hour or so driving. Also lots of road noise.

What's it like to park?

Absolute dream, great visibility and with steering assist could turn it on a coin!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Broke one suspension spring, but I expected more problems living in rural cornwall. Overall couldn't be happier with the reliability!

What's most practical about your car?

Small so easy to park and surprisingly spacious. Managed to move a washing machine in the back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Had a non spec sony sound system installed, although the electric steering assist made the car a dream to handle and park at low speeds.
