    What does this car say about you?

    Family thinks it's just a sensible practicle car for me to have at the moment.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I would if I had to but long so much to own a nice car now.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I would love a Jag but someone will only smash a shopping trolley into and the fuel is too much so I would be interested in something like an old mondeo sti or something.
