Changing figure was good High sale price but offset with generous trade in allowance, so very happy.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Car was as new unmarked with 14k miles.

What was the dealer like?

Couldn't do enough polite and on the ball.

What's it like to drive?

It's no hot rode handler for sure. On the plus side it very quiet and comfortable with reasonable fuel economy on the minus it's slow as engine lacks torque and has a very dull response to accelerator inputs which can make it feel as if is will stall or bog down with no power it also wallows in the corners.

What's it like to park?

Very easy as all controls light and easy to use Need to remember about the dim witted throttle response tho.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong but car had grooves on the discs that i pointed out shortly after taking delivery and these where replaced (Didn't get an explanation as to how this would happen on a car with only 14k miles other than manufacture defect).

What's most practical about your car?

So easy to drive and live with so a no fuss car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Doesn't do gadgets a bit boring that way.
