What does this car say about you?

you would get looks and it's nice to put your hand up to other crusiers.

they liked it but after the problems when we see one we say "scrap it" or "poor sods"

I got a Peugeot in the end.

Independent

£3,000

No

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

liked the look of it and wanted something different

What was the dealer like?

Car-Change Bristol - in my view they were unprofessional, rude, didn't have a clue. Well put it this way, my car had an engine error and the car was under warranty from them and they wouldn't fix it. It just had problem after problem.

What's it like to drive?

a tank. very heavy. ok if your on a straight road. you could go far without passing and filling up with petrol.

What's it like to park?

had parking sensors so was ok. didn't have any problems.

Have you had any problems with the car?

where do I start. Error code that dealer claimed couldn't be fixed. Problem was highlighted in the Chryler Haynes manual and it could be fixed, but would have cost them. Bushes split one side while driving. Then the other was on it's way out so had to be replace. Various other things we must have spent over 2K on it.

What's most practical about your car?

no one would steal it lol. you def have to have the nack at starting it with it's special way and getting the key out of the ignition and then the fuel cap. I hated filling her up.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

heated seats, leather seats, sat nav, parking sensor. loving car inside but terrible to run and drive.
