What does this car say about you?

I'm a bit irrational.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all seem to love it, more than I do in fact.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No never. If you could buy a more basic one with the same performance, I would. In other words, a bit like the original MINI Cooper S.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£21,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got about £600 off.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had lots of fun in an original Cooper S, so thought I'd try a new one.

What was the dealer like?

OK, but included a £350 paint protection pack without asking me.

What's it like to drive?

Goes like stink, brakes are superb and it handles well. Driving pleasure rather spoiled by lots of daft gadgets.

What's it like to park?

Doddle, it's tiny.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Terrible rattles when I got it, took ages to find them all. OK now.

What's most practical about your car?

Practical it isn't.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The double sunroof.
