What does this car say about you?

Im not sure, its a bit of an old mans car but to be honest its really not plus im not really bothered what other people think.

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

My fiancee really loves this car, my family are that keen, they are hatch back lovers, same for my friends as well

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes i would but only the diesel (more efficient for my work) or the 1.8T(fast enough not to care about efficiency)

What are you likely to buy next?

Not really sure to be honest, Im happy with this so will be a while off yet

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,995

When did you buy the car?

June 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

It was ok, when I bought it it was three years old and for quite a high spec car and all the extras and warranties I got it was a good deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Previously had a mk4 golf but was not comfy enough, the Boras was so I decided to swap

What was the dealer like?

A bit pushy but very friendly.

What's it like to drive?

For a 1.6 its not bad, it will nearly keep up with my friends 1.8 focus and will corner much better than my golf did. With the 16" alloys and wide tyres there is plenty of grip and you can push it quite hard.

What's it like to park?

Easy, visibility very good, steering nice and light.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just a common fault which was the ignition coil packs, all four replaced under warranty

What's most practical about your car?

Comfort levels
