I have good taste. Lovely in blue.

No
What price did you pay?
£16,250
When did you buy the car?
March 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
Does anyone ever gets enough from a dealer but Arnold Clarke, Winsford worked with me to get as good a part ex value for my trade in as I could have hoped for.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Looked nice and when test drove the 1.4 petrol it drove well but wanted the diesel.
What was the dealer like?
Not heard good things about Arnold Clarke so better than I had expected.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
This car is well built. It's solid, excellent to drive. I do a 40 mile round trip to work, though mostly dual carriage way and motorway I'm getting approx. 50 mpg and I don't hang about. My only criticism is it could do with a little more power but on the move acceleration is fine. I only have the 140bhp so can't comment on the higher output car.
What's it like to park?
It has rear parking sensors which are a great help. Without these I imagine it would be awful.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No but only had the car about 4 months.
What's most practical about your car?
The car is a 3 door coupe. The boot is not a bad size and the rear seats fold forward, if not flat.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
That auto tint rear view mirror is a gem and the climate control is ice cold in summer.
