Understated performance car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

No idea and don't care.

Yes.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,200

August 2012

Reasonable price, as cambelt service had just been done.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Performance car.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Superb engine and very comfortable to drive. It's not too big for driving around the lanes either, which has been a problem with larger cars.

What's it like to park?

No problem.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just normal wear and tear items have been replaced. Suspension bushes, disks and pads. The ancillary water pump needed to be replaced due to a small coolant leak, but with a car of this age that is what you expect.

What's most practical about your car?

Estate size, but still compact.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bose stereo is fab.
