£9,995

May 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Deal was ok but when we brought it, this model was like gold dust in our price range

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Size of back seat - wide enough for 2 boosters & one carseat...just ! Performance (140BHP)

What was the dealer like?

the usual !

What's it like to drive?

Great to drive and the 140 BHP one is quite nippy. Very economical

What's it like to park?

Easy to park as its quite boxy you can see the back & front easily !

Have you had any problems with the car?

Boot catch failed which is a common problem. Also excessive smoke pours from under bonnet on cold days when you stop which is quite embarrassing when your in traffic ! Apparently this also is common and isn't anything that can be righted but its quite annoying ! Wipers often die if cars been standing and weathers has been very wet !

What's most practical about your car?

Good for kids but dont bother with the 7 seater if you have a child that needs a buggy because buggy will not fit in boot with the 6th & 7th seat up...not even a small stroller type buggy. Plus you have to fiddle about to get the seats up.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Nothing really quite basic
