What was the dealer like?

For service used Kent Elms, always polite but you have to go back time and time again with same faults, there faivorite line is "computer said everything is working ok" no faults found,, and they always say you need new wiper blades when there still ok. first service was £220

the 1.4 is under powered, go for at least 1.6 as its quite a heavy car, handles well, never loses grip, clutch is terrible.

What's it like to park?

average, you cant see the front from drivers seat

Have you had any problems with the car?

3 Recalls, clutch is terrible, sits about 2 inches above the break pedal, bite is horrible, if your sitting in traffic its a battle not to stall it. Rear window handle was broken off when it was delivered. Just had a speed sensor fault on cruise control/limiter, not had it sorted yet.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing really stands out.
