Summary
What does this car say about you?
I don't know that of course, but I feel comfortable with it because I think it is refined and stylish, but in an understated sort of way (not something I can say about myself, though).
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Those who've seen it appeared to like it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, certainly. It's a very nice car and I don't regret buying it.
What are you likely to buy next?
I hope to keep this car for a very long time, so I'm not thinking about that.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It feels very solid and stable, rather heavy as well, which I like.
What's it like to park?
The car is quite short which makes it easy to park. It is a bit wide, so unless its close to the curb will stick out.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The air conditioning wasn't working when I bought it and that needed a new condenser to be sorted which was a bit expensive.
What's most practical about your car?
I like the glass hatch, it's at a nice hight and opens almost effortlessly to give good access to the boot. The parking ticket holder on the windscreen is a small thing, but really practical.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
There is button that immediately de-fogs the windscreen which I find superb. It is the base configuration, so it has no options, but even then the stereo is really nice, with a lovely sound.
