Yes. We got warranty and two services.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

To lower our motoring costs.

What was the dealer like?

The seller was not nice to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

The steering feel and weighting is all wrong. The feedback is dreadful. The suspension doesn't seem to have any give in it. The car "crashes" over bumps in the road horribly. The auto transmission changes down too soon and the car lurches in a most ungainly fashion. The only positive to driving this car is if you want to drive it fast (which I don't) This, it does very well, as grip is good and the engine is very responsive and acceleration is keen.

What's it like to park?

Very easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The air conditioning. We had the condenser replaced for GBP 100.

What's most practical about your car?

Bluetooth

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric windows.
