Buying experience

Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£23,000
When did you buy the car?
March 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
We intend keeping car for at least three years and therefore spec'd it up with all the extras we wanted. £23k is still a LOT of money for a 'Fiesta size' car!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Had an original A160 for a number of years that never let us down
What was the dealer like?
Very good and from experience with Merc dealers that cannot be taken as read
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quicker and more refined than old A160. Was sceptical about 'Autotronic' CVT gearbox but it is fine
What's it like to park?
Easy
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet! Our previous A160 was very reliable
What's most practical about your car?
The packaging really is amazing. For a small car the room inside is great
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Rare option of Sports package with 17'' alloys makes it stand out. Panoramic 'roof is pricey but always open, weather permitting! Integrated rear child seats very useful
