April 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought via E Bay - sale of very low mileage car - by son of deceased old lady driver. Only 6000 miles in 3.5 years. Still smelled like a new car. price was at least £2000 less than any comparable car from dealer

Wanted well built small car with spacious flexible accomodation, good economy, light controls and and automatic

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Lovely to drive - all controls very light but solid. However passengers not so happy as ride tends to be hard and jiggly on anything but smoothest main roads. Mainly driven by my wife who finds it comfortable and incredibly easy to drive - nippy easy to park etc.

What's it like to park?

Simple - good all round visibility

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Rear seat is so flexible. Can lift seat base like a cinema seat to provide clear space between front and rear seats - very useful for all the tall plants my wife buys. Or you can fold whole of rear seat down flat onto floor with headrests sliding under front seats

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The flexibility of the rear seats. CVT auto gearbox is also brilliant - very smooth and virtually no economy penalty.
