Summary
What does this car say about you?
A bit different to the herd. The model that I used as a comparator was, while it's not an obvious choice an Audi TT, and that was a huge dissapointment
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. Because of all the obvious flaws. Still what was I going to get for £10,500 - perfection?
What are you likely to buy next?

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£10,500
When did you buy the car?
December 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
No, I feel I overpaid but the competition tells me otherwise. I think there must be a ready market for these.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Primarily because I think regardless of whether it's the best hot hatch or not, I think it is the best looking by far. Which applies if your doing 140 mph, or the more common 0mph in a traffic jam.
What was the dealer like?
Helpful - brought the car approx 30 miles to my house and gave me a genorous trade in on my existing car.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Good fun if you don't want to take notice of others, because of the severely limited rear visibility
What's it like to park?
Poor because of the restricted rear visibility caused by that otherwise natty rear spoiler.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No.
What's most practical about your car?
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
