Yes, the previous owner had the car lying about not being used.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Just needed a basic runabout car after passing my test.

What was the dealer like?

Was with a person i knew, absolutely no problem to strike a good deal with.

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly nippy for a 1L engine, more guts than you would expect. Doesn't perform brilliantly uphill or when carrying lots of passengers but isn't too much of an issue. Absolutely fine round town and on the motorway. Feels very nice and easy to drive, steering could be a tad lighter but does not raise any issues.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park as the turning circle is brilliant and the car is only small. Good all round visibility. Lighter steering however would be preferable.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No serious problems so far, passed every mot with no issue.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot space is decent, the interior room is decent enough for a small car. Economy is good.
