Summary
What does this car say about you?
The wife chose it.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Would you buy this car again and why?
Not with the 75bhp diesel engine. The 90bhp version would probably be better for the rural use our car gets.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£7,200
When did you buy the car?
November 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Although more expensive than from a smaller dealer, the car I bought was very low mileage for the year and presented in absolutely 'as new' condition, and came with mats, flaps, full tank of fuel and road tax.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Size, economy.
What was the dealer like?
Friendly, knowledgeable. Smart dealership, but no offer of a cup of coffee...!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Taught suspension a wee bit firm on rough roads, but this means very precise handling. Light easy-to-use controls. 75bhp diesel engine probably suited better to urban use rather than the open road - needs to be driven quite hard to make speedy progress, which hurts fuel consumption.
What's it like to park?
Easy. Good visibility. Light steering.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet!
What's most practical about your car?
Good interior size, especially in the front, given the exterior dimensions.
