Summary
What does this car say about you?
Skinflint!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Many of them laugh.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, I've had enough of cheap motoring and the latest Panda is far more expensive anyway. Annoying features are no key for front passenger door, the c/locking doesn't open the fifth door (have to use a key).
What are you likely to buy next?
Honda Accord.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The easiest car to drive. Quiet on the motorway, achieves an indicated 90 quite easily, but you need to anticipate hills and change down early: if you lose momentum, you've had it.

Very easy to park.

Nothing

5 doors, economy, light controls.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It hardly has any gadgets - but being able to close an electric window after switching off is useful.
