Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No

£1,995

March 2013

Good, helpful.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth, stable, good in corners. Overtaking is a breeze if wound up in the right gear. Awful turning circle but you get used to it. Had it converted to LPG so it's now cheaper to run than a diesel.
What's it like to park?
Good. No significant blind spots.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Needed new ignition switch - easy and cheap fix.
What's most practical about your car?
Versatile interior space, good storage and cupholders!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
General 'usefulness' and feelgood factor.
