Buying experience

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£2,000
When did you buy the car?
November 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Excellent deal. The car was worth far more than I paid for it. It was immaculate.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I wanted a reliable large car and saw this car for £3000. It had a full service history, low mileage (55k) and was in excellent condition. It is the best car I have ever owned.
What was the dealer like?
Good dealer. Very friendly. Lots of choice. Not pushy.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
An excellent drive. Tight in the corners and poised. Good power. It's pretty quiet at speed but there is some wind noise penetration.
What's it like to park?
That would depend on hoe good you are at parking. I find it pretty easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
I have never regretted a penny spent on this car. 15 years old and still tight as a drum. Only problems have been regular wear and tear.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot space is excellent. It is supposed to be small for its class, but I have never needed any more space than this car has provided.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The 6 disc changer. I spend a lot of time doing long journeys. This has served us very well.
