What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

On turning it over you could be forgiven for thinking it was a diesel as it is a bit noisy,once you are cruising it settles down. You have to work it hard as it is very slow. It is more suited to motorway driving as it cruises well. Overall it is very comfortable to drive and very economical.

What's it like to park?

There is good around vision and the steering is light which makes it relatively easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The front drop link had to be replaced and is still making a noise which the dealer says is ok? The rear drums had to be replaced because the handbrake kept sticking. After 18 months the clutch went.

What's most practical about your car?

There is plenty of room inside to seat 4 adults in comfort and a generous boot which contains a full size spare. Also it is very economical!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I am glad I got the model with ac.
