What does this car say about you?

practicality

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

£10,300

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

yes it was a double discount and maybe they made a mistake!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

at that price, it was a bargain not to be missed as we were after a New Ka anyway.

What was the dealer like?

very helpful and not pushy

What's it like to drive?

economical, nippy, comfortable and is at home in town, on winding country roads or batting along a motorway. nearly as good as the 1.6 new Fiesta

What's it like to park?

easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

yes. in the bad weather it iced up round the wiper linkage which is plastic moulded onto a metal connecting bar. someone designed this very badly and it has happened to others given the lengthy wait for spares from Germany. 3 weeks and counting

What's most practical about your car?

just about everything

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

the stereo system!!!! absolutely first classs quality
