What does this car say about you?

Happy to enjoy budget motoring

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

Okay

Would you buy this car again and why?

I certainly might buy one when it comes time to change but the quality of some of the plastics, though robust, looked and felt cheap in comparison to my Micra and I don't know if I would be happy with that on a long term basis.

What are you likely to buy next?

A small economical car

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

No

£0

April 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

N/A

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had as courtesy car from coachworks while my own car, a Nissan Micra,an 06 model was getting a repair rectification. Had a loan of same model a year ago when original repair was carried out.

What was the dealer like?

N/A

What's it like to drive?

Nippy with a lovely gearchange and pleasant steering and handling. Didn't like the low speed ride, car seemed to have odd body movement. The previous one I drove was much better.

What's it like to park?

Easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only had for a few days but noticed clutch judder when warm when moving away from a standstill. Drove same model a year ago and had same characteristic. Had peculiar ride characteristics over broken surfaces.

What's most practical about your car?

Very roomy compact car but boot space miserly. Could do with a sliding rear seat like my own car, a Micra has.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air con is nice to have in a budget car.
