Before the faults lovely car now we don't talk about the car as its a sore subject lol.

No

What price did you pay?

£5,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Poor deal but was in a bad position, my old car was on its way out with to many faults so i got this car, and have hit even more problems but cannot return as i need it for work and to get from A to B with my family.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a family car that was good on MPG, comfy and a good overall car in general that could get me to and from various places of work without drama.

What was the dealer like?

VERY POOR

What's it like to drive?

Terrible it rumbles and shakes at 50mph lol.

What's it like to park?

Easy to park, normal size hatch back.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Unfortunately a big REGRET the day i purchased it, its riddled with faults, duel mass flywheel fault, gearbox is faulty, discrepancy of mileage, car wheel shakes at 50mph and very noisy in the car, only thing that is good is the MPG.

What's most practical about your car?

It gets me from A to B so far and cheap to do so, but riddled with faults so i have no choice, financially cannot afford another, 20 month old little boy and a 3week old little boy and i am the only person working as my partner is a stay at home mum lol.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It has to be the dash computer, very smart little piece of technology.
