That I couldn't afford a decent car.

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

First car, wanted something cheap and affordable. Note: It's actaully an 06 but I can't select that here for some reason.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Not as bad as some would have you think. It's not great by any means, but if you keep it on city roads you can't have many complaints. Motorways and Dual Carriageways are where it struggles. Going beyond 40mph feels like a chore for it. Motorway speeds are a nightmare. It constantly wants to weave around and you'll always correcting it.

What's it like to park?

Easy, as you'd expect from a small car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Apart from the drivers side mirror being smashed off (twice), nothing major.

What's most practical about your car?
