Buying experience

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£3,500
When did you buy the car?
April 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
I thought I got a good deal but as it turns out I didn't. They refused to repair the car and I had to take it to consumer direct. In my opinion avoid Maryport Car Centre at all costs!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I bought the car as I had one a couple of years ago and it was cheap and reliable
What was the dealer like?
Terrible!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Ok to dive but you do suffer after about 4 hours behind the wheel. also it is terrible on fuel, only returns 42mpg on a run and 38 mpg on a mixed cycle this is common for these cars.
What's it like to park?
OK like all cars.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
needed New clutch as there was a terrible shudder. now it has developed a starting problem checked and changed the battery still struggeling to start. only had the car 6 months and I am already looking for another.
What's most practical about your car?
the size but even then the boot isn't as large as the Lagun or C5 or Octavia I used to own.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None. Air con is rubbish and turns the Air Con on constably unless you manually turn it off.
