• Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Difficult to say - they're driven by quite a cross section of people although thankfully few boy racers. The kiddie seats in the back might give the game away!

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

    Has had generally positive comments from all. Mainly due to the amount of space inside such a small car.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, definitely. It's been very reliable although fuel consumption hasn't been quite as good as expected. It's also comfortable, practical and looks ok.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Probably the successor to the Jazz! We've been very satisfied with this one.

    Franchise

    Did you buy this car new?

    No

    What price did you pay?

    £10,500

    When did you buy the car?

    January 2006

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Not bad because the car had been sat in the dealers for a couple of months with a bunch of other slightly newer demonstrators. As we keep our cars 6-7 years, the slightly older license plate didn't matter.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Good price as pre-reg car with low mileage. Liked the space and compact dimensions

    What was the dealer like?

    Excellet. Friendly, helpful and prepared to haggle a bit in a nice way. Threw in carpets and a free 1st service.

  • Driving it

    What's it like to drive?

    Firm ride and well weighted steering on the SE Sport model (wider wheels) make it quite a nimble drive. Light steering and fantastic gear change. Could handle more power though.

    What's it like to park?

    Doddle to park because of the compact dimensions although like most modern cars, you can't see the front.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Only a rear electric window. Pretty good considering the amount of abuse the car has had off the kids over the past 3 years! Rest of the car has stood up very well.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Can seat 4 real adults in comfort with boot space. Easy to drive and park

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Doesn't have a lot of gadgets!
