Wanting to be a bit different but being 100% practical at the same time

Looks a bit whacky

£9,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

OK deal - I just wanted shot of my other car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

C-Max CVT auto had hesitation problem that was not fixed after 15 attampts by Ford

What was the dealer like?

OK - but you could tell he was a car dealer

What's it like to drive?

It's no racing car, but it can be chucked about when empty. Other cars don't expect it to go round corners - which it does.

What's it like to park?

Narrower than a C-Max and so more room to open the doors. Standard rear parking sensors on my "3" are OK and you get a crude distance display on the stereo.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Touch wood, nothing so far

What's most practical about your car?

Everything - but especially the flexibility of space in the back and how easy it is to move / remove the seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Standard stereo is good.
