Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Summary
What does this car say about you?
I'm a lunatic. There's a reason you never see these on the roads!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Useless. So big it can be seen from space with the naked eye, and American garbage.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely not. Selling is almost impossible, and the lease company I've handed it back to expected a 17,000 mile car to be as pristine as a showroom model!
What are you likely to buy next?
Already got a Skoda Fabia. Much smaller, but the quality is unerringly better
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£13,000
When did you buy the car?
January 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes I did because they quoted me for the 2.0 petrol price against a 2.0 diesel.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
The lease brought down the repayments from what I was forking out on the Seat I had before
What was the dealer like?
Very helpful, very honest
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Truly awful. I must have been on another planet when I test drove it because it's so noisy and the body roll is astonishingly bad
What's it like to park?
Woeful. Very big, and has the turning circle of the Titanic
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Too many to mention. Broke down within an hour of collection (turbo failure) and had to go back 4 times in the first 3 months for different - and dangerous - defects
What's most practical about your car?
Very good motorway cruiser
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Good air con unit
