£3,990

When did you buy the car?

September 2003

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes! Purchased privately, cheaper than other private sales (even if I did spend some £££ on unexpected service / repairs, still cheaper!)

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Good for its size.

What's it like to park?

* Rear vision can be difficult due to wide roof supports behind rear seats. Had a reversing shunt collision due to this. * When passenger door is unlocked, driver door is locked - thus leading driver to think car is wholly locked. Not so, hence loss of personal effects at one time.

Have you had any problems with the car?

If unlocking / locking the front passenger's airbag from time to time (when using child safety carseat or not), it eventually failed - thus airbag warning light is forever flashing on the dashboard.

What's most practical about your car?

Economical running costs
