Summary
What does this car say about you?
Well it was bought by me for my Dad who is now 79.....and looks wise it's black with massive wheels so not the obvious choice after his Toyota Camry but he loves it,people stop to ask what it is and I love using it too (I'm late thirties)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
The average price guess(its on a private plate) is £25000...honestly. Everyone thinks it's a really expensive car apt from peopled in the car job who know they cost £5000 to £9000
Would you buy this car again and why?
Of course...its the best value car in the UK!
What are you likely to buy next?
Well I'll keep Dad in it for at least 5 years and hopefully he'll last as long as the car. I'd certainly have another/or keep that forever as a momento of Dad or replace it with the current STS.
