Buying experience

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£12,398
When did you buy the car?
March 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
26% discount, good p/x, 4 years' 0% finance and 3 years' free servicing. I'd call that a good deal!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I needed a bigger car and the deal was the clincher for this model.
What was the dealer like?
The dealer contact was very friendly and helpful. The showroom was immaculate and the car was prepared to a high standard.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I am impressed with the overall refinement and ride quality. The handling is fine for everyday use, certainly not poor as stated in the Parkers review.
What's it like to park?
The rear parking sensors make reverse parking easy and mitigate against the small rear window. The bulbous front will take a bit of getting used to but so far I have managed to avoid the wife's car!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
I queried the slightly noisy transmission but apparently they are all like that. The technician cited the really quiet engine as the reason why the noise was evident! Other than that the car is well screwed together inside and out.
What's most practical about your car?
The big boot and cabin storage space. Pity the glovebox has to house the fuse box though as this makes it pretty useless.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The DAB radio and input for a flash drive are great. The car has everything I want and need.
