Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£8,495
When did you buy the car?
February 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, becasue I knew what I wanted and what I wanted to pay and what I wanted for my P/ex.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Looking for an everyday suv, after all I'm not going across fields daily, this fit the bill perfectly and is more rugged looking than the SX4...and cheaper used!!
What was the dealer like?
Keen to sell me their demo diesel, but very competent when they realised I had done my homework.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fun! The 1.6 engine is very punchy and revs well. You have to drop gear to overtake or accelerate up a hill, but then it flies. consider that the diesel is in excess of £2000 more used for only 3mpg more, the petrol makes great sense
What's it like to park?
Easy, though I may be adding rear parking sensors as I have got rather used to them on my previous car to assist in the tight spaces.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
The driving position, the handling is great for a higher positioned car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The switch to go between 2WD, AWD and 4WD. Great in bad weather!!!
