Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I want to look like an old man
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely absolutely NOT. No matter where I took it, they said what happened was a "common fault".
What are you likely to buy next?
For the past year I've been driving a P reg Honda Civic which I bought for £350 which included a whole year's MOT. The only thing I've replaced on it are tyres and brake pads, so probably something Japanese if I can.
