    Did you get a good deal and why?

    I think i got an okay deal because it was slightly under priced due to the fact it was an ex-rental car for Europacar...although they didn't tell me that till i got my new v5 through...it had only done a few thousand miles was in mint condition and i bought it before they even got it from the company..

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    My friend had a base spec one and i loved it since she bought it a couple of years ago and that made my mind up for me!

    What was the dealer like?

    Bought from Arnold Clark. Reeled me in then sold me the car without manual, spare keys and telling me it was owned by a company that went into Liquidation...total lie..Europcar are still doing business! Wouldn't even give me free mats worth £15 when i was paying outright!!
