What does this car say about you?

Don't know really.

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

My Dad thinks it's reliable.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Maybe, not this particular model, I think it's expensive for what it is, it doesn't have electric windows either which gets very annoying!I find the fuel consumption very high for the engine size and would be tempted to go for a diesel.

What are you likely to buy next?

Hopefully a toyota aygo, to save petrol.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

May 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think so, I got a low finance rate.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Not very good, they were unable to tax the car because they had lost my insurance certificate but didn't ring me to get a new one and as it was a Sunday I had to leave it on my drive for a whole day before I could drive it anywhere!

What's it like to drive?

The slowest car I've ever driven. I think the body is too heavy for the engine. I don't know how anyone can say it's nippy!

What's it like to park?

Ok, can see easily.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The brakes squeak constantly other than that no. I was told this was caused by dirt in them and that nothing could be done.

What's most practical about your car?

boot space

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I like the blue lights on the dashboard at night.
