Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Really really dodgy. A couple of months after I bought the car, he was in the local paper for clocking. He's now in jail.

What's it like to drive?

Its quite nippy around town and accelerates well to about 30mph. After that it's very sluggish. Motorway performance is okay. Its quite agile on corners, although the seats could offer more support. You could by no means class the car as being fast though.

What's it like to park?

No bad. the short back of the car makes it easier to judge distances.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes, Exhaust back box was rusted as started making a horrible metal scraping sound when driven. There was a loud rattle which turned out to be a broken exhaust filter so i had to replace the centre exhaust. The power steering pump has started to leak. Had to get that replaced.

What's most practical about your car?

its got quite a big boot, and the drivers legroom is ample.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric sunroof
