Summary
What does this car say about you?
I love vans but need the flexibility of rear seats for passengers, etc - Also that I'm serious about fuel economy & low road tax.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends know I love this car/van - I'm over 6 feet tall, pushing 50 & care about the environment - So low little 'girly' cars or gas-guzzling speed machines are never going to be my thing.
Would you buy this car again and why?
YES DEFINITELY - I drove from Yorkshire to Kirkcaldy to go and get this one.
What are you likely to buy next?
FIAT QUBO 95BHP TREKKING (same again).

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
February 2015
Did you get a good deal and why?
Paid about the 'parkers' suggested price for a very low mileage car/van with less than 9000 miles on the clock.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Large flexible boot/load space - frugal diesel engine - extra oomph & traction on trekking model.
What was the dealer like?
Friendly & efficient.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Acceleration is slow from standing start but is fine once cruising along & very good up hills - High driving position so easy to get in & out of seats - very comfortable - good visibility.
What's it like to park?
Great with the flat back & large wing mirrors - Not much longer/wider than a small hatch-back but with so much more boot/load space and head room for the car's 'footprint'.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Glow plugs take a while to warm up on cold mornings.
What's most practical about your car?
Great fuel economy & £20 pa road tax - Massive boot space - flexible too with rear seats which split & fold/roll down or can be removed completely - sliding rear doors & flick-open rear windows which are better than roll down windows in the rear when travelling & when leaving the windows open when the dog's in the boot - privacy glass in the rear is great too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
95 bhp trekking model has more oomph & feel safer driving with snow/mud tyres, traction control & hill start features.
