Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£9,500
When did you buy the car?
January 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, it was a good deal, it was an ex-fleet car at just over 6 months old and 13000 miles on the clock, but it does have the colour sat nav upgrade, and has the balance of the manufacturers warranty on it, well specc'd nothing close to it for the money.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Yes, it was the only car in our price range that could offer full passenger seat height, lumbar adjustment etc as my wife is disabled and needs to be able to move the seat fully as and when required.
What was the dealer like?
Dealer was OK, but there a couple of minor niggles since I bought the car, which have occured in teh first couple of days of ownership, so if the after sales is good, then I would say overall the dealer was quite good.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Done about 200 miles of mixed driving since collecting it, on Motorways it cruises on the cruise control with ease, teh controls are all easy to reach and the pedals are all nice and positive, round town it is nippy and easy to drive, but the bonnet is very long.
What's it like to park?
Easy, no major problem.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only had car 24 hours, so far rear ash tray has popped out and wont pop back in, also one interior light doesnt work.
What's most practical about your car?
The seat adjustment for mhy wife in the passenger seat, was an essential part of the cars specification as she is disabled and needs full adjustment to relieve pain whilst travelling.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Built in colour Sat Nav, I hate things popped on dashboards as after thoughts etc, in my mind it all has to be tucked away, neat and tidy.
