Hmmm difficult one, suppose that I like a good quality car that doesn't break the bank!!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Few envious people say it's a hairdressers car but everyone thats been in it has been impressed with the ride and build quality, my father said the engines quieter than his year old Merc. He was quite peeved about it. lol.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, car has been great to own, lovely in summer with the roof down and wind-deflector in place.
What are you likely to buy next?
Due to mileage I do may look at a Golf GTD ot GT TDI, I'm converted to the VW badge now.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent to drive. Good MPG, Eos quite a bit more expensive than other convertibles but are worth every penny, great build quality, so much nicer then my previous Astra TwinTop.
What's it like to park?
Rear Visibility not great as in all convertibles with the roof up but parking sensors make light work of parking, NearSide door mirror automatically angles down when placed in reverse which is a nice helpful touch.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all, done nearly 20k miles in 9 months and not a single fault.
What's most practical about your car?
For a hardtop convertible the Boot is quite a good size, can get my golf clubs in even with the roof down (If I take out my driver).
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric Roof never fails to draw attention. Full Leather Seats nice but glad they are heated!!
