What does this car say about you?

Not bothered.

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

They have not commented and I am not bothered what they think either!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would buy it again but not from the same dealership as their aftersales service is rubbish.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something a bit easier to get in and out of now that I am getting towards retiring age.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,369

When did you buy the car?

October 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes I traded in my Zafira for £1000 more than I bought it so all in all an excellent deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Yes the fuel economy and I downsized from a Vauxhall Zafira.

What was the dealer like?

Good.

What's it like to drive?

Very very nippy and economical. Stays on the corner. Bit sluggish under 2000 revs but as soon as the turbo kicks in it is away.

What's it like to park?

Extremely easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

We have had a few problems with it but nothing the dealer couldn't fix like the fact I had to have a new seat cover and also 4 fuel injectors replaced too after a nasty fuel smell crept into the cabin of the car and loss of performance followed afterwards.

What's most practical about your car?

The fuel economy I regard 8 pence a mile as good. Easy to park. Easy to wash. Goes into my garage easily too.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Automatic headlights, automatic wipers.
