Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

We downsized from a 2006 skoda 1.9 diesel auto estate.I was impressed with simple things like how easy it was going to be to change headlamp bulbs,checking fluid levels etc. The interior can take 5 adults quite comfortably but obviously luggage space is very limited,but saying that there is just the 2 of us and the space with the rear seats down is BIG! Good sat nav and equipment more than adequate. Only downside I have found was during the only hail storm for many years my car ended up with a few small dents in the roof as the metal seems relatively thin but it is an economy car after all and the paint quality is very good so was still intact. All in all extremely pleased and would certainly buy another.

How reliable do you find the car?

Just had to replace the battery at a couple of months short of the 4 years,but they only guarantee them for 3 years anyway.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

It's a surprisingly spacious little car and it pulls like a train for a 4 speed automatic and has really good road handling.
