What does this car say about you?

I drive a ford fiesta?! And i'm being robbed by the government on fuel tax?!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it looks fantastic, which to its credit it does. Just really really disappointed about the dash rattle

Would you buy this car again and why?

In all honesty no. I have had some trouble with the dealer not taking my complaints seriously due to my age (22) so ill probably go and buy from a company with some business sense

What are you likely to buy next?

Prolly japanese or german, though theres no spec to compete with this for the money...i suppose you pay for the quality of service missing here!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£9,400

When did you buy the car?

May 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, 9400 instead of 12 something

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I liked them and i got a good price

What was the dealer like?

Pretty good at selling me the car. All went reasonably smoothly. Up untill i had a problem

What's it like to drive?

Really good, nippy handles well and gives some confidence into the twisties.

What's it like to park?

Pretty easy really, youd have to be a useless driver to have a problem

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes, has been back for a dent it got before it was delivered, went back 3 times within 2 months to have the dash taken out to cure a rattle that was in the dash this developed after 5 hours of ownership..which was later discovered to be in the engine compartment. It now rattles like a trooper from the dash!! But the engine rattle is cured.

What's most practical about your car?

Size and economy....oh and it goes bloody well
