Summary
What does this car say about you?
Why would that matter, I never thought about it.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all liked the car, even though it's habit of always being broken made them scared to ride in it* *I'm not kidding.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, granted it was very unreliable, it had 127,000 miles when I bought it and wasnt very well maintained so I would reckon that if I bought a better took care of model it would be better, it was also a hoot to drive!
What are you likely to buy next?
I've since took ownership of a Nissan Almera Premium.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£530
When did you buy the car?
May 2014
Did you get a good deal and why?
The price was average for a 106 but after looking back at how much went wrong in one year and the huge mileage, no I didn't.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I was deciding between this and a Punto 12v Sport, this was 10 minutes away while the Punto was over 30 miles away in Armagh.
What was the dealer like?
Alright I guess, didn't give much info on the car but he was very easy to negotiate pricesw with.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a lot of fun, while granted it only had 69HP, it only weighs 750KG and has a short wheel base which makes it fun to throw around the backroads!
What's it like to park?
Very easy, visability is great and the small size of the vehicle makes it easy to land in parking spaces. Though I would shop for a model with PAS (there's literally no price difference) as it makes tight manuovers easy!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Don't start me, i've never seen a car where EVERYTHING failed in the space of a year.
What's most practical about your car?
It's a bit small so not much, but if you're a single person it's a perfect size for what all you'd need in the boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It was a base model so it had no optional extras, but it had a Sony CDX-L450 stereo in it which was very slick although this was quickly replaced.
