What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

As its just a 1.4 the power to weight ratio isn't very good.. but the comfort and running costs are very good.

What's it like to park?

Parking is easy, you can see clearly around the car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have had a few problems, one being the spark plug bores.. they filled up with rain water and cause my car to misfire eventually. The water rusted the spark plugs and caused them to shear off when changing, so I had to pay for a specialist engineer to drill them out, quite pricey!

What's most practical about your car?

The boot space and room inide the car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Fitted a new pioneer stereo.
