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

NOOOOO. I've had a BMW & Nissan before. No problems. I've previously had 3 Fords, all unreliable. So why why why did I buy another???? This had proved to be just as bad.
What are you likely to buy next?
Either something German or Japanese, I'm tired of repair bills

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Comfortable quiet ride (before the head gasket went & ruined the engine). More poke but not as good in the corners as my old Peugeot 406.
What's it like to park?
Good vision all round. Easy to move about. Although it has to sit outside as it doesn't fit in my garage

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Head-gasket, which is now fixed but has done permanent damage to the engine leaving a lovely loud rattle... Rear off-side door doesn't lock on first press. Heated windscreen partially works (i.e. thick clear and unclear stripes).
What's most practical about your car?
Tons of space inside cabin & boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Very good music system. Hides the engine rattles nicely...
