Cost wise I did not get the best deal in the world but the APR was low and also I managed to get 3 years of free servicing which was not bad.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The car I had caused a back problem, hence why I needed to get another one.

The person who sold me the car was very helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Fine when the gears are working correctly.

What's it like to park?

Very easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Quite a few things - I must have bought one of the dodgy ones. I have had it back in the garage 6 times with problems to do with the gearbox and only on the 6th time was I told that there was a recall on the car. The garage I bought my car from did not inform me of this before, they said they were waiting for customers to complain about the problem before dealing with it - I had mentioned it 3 times before they told me this!!!. Problem was fixed for a short while but changing into 1st can still be hard sometimes. Next thing was that the car lacked power when pulling away at junctions. I borrowed another car (same as mine) whilst mine was having eveything sorted - this car was was much more responsive, so garage informed and the problem was looked at.

What's most practical about your car?

Overall the space is very good.
