Summary
What does this car say about you?
Trying to look like a dad- hopefully will be one soon!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
The really like it. They say its a grown up mans car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes and no- you can't get a better spec for its value. If you're not bothered by the badge you will get alot of car for your money. The space is huge. Back seat passengers get the best deal. Nice first car when stepping into adulthood. Go on-get a dog and your sorted.
What are you likely to buy next?
Audi S4 avant (so much for not caring about the badge!)

Franchise

No
What price did you pay?
£4,500
When did you buy the car?
June 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes. Only 39000 motorway miles. And for the spec against the price- you can't go wrong
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
A bit different- and not a Saab
What was the dealer like?
Not bad- trust worthy. Just gave me the keys and let me and wife drive around for 30 minutes.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not as responsive as i would like. I used to have a 2.2 Vectra (auto)which i felt pulled away faster. Still, i wouldn't say its slow but can be a bit of a heavy drinker if you're heavy with the pedal
What's it like to park?
Not good. The turning circle is not good. Be prepared for alot of back and forth turning. However, visibility through the rear is good.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No- gear shift is a bit tough, particularly in the cold.
What's most practical about your car?
The space. I traded in my MGF for this. I tend to do things in a polorised way.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control. Very efficient. And i like the looks (if you like big bottoms ;)
