What does this car say about you?

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

Nope. Poor build quality and electrical faults have driven me crazy, lack of performance is a real drawback too.

Ford Fiesta/Vauxhall Corsa

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Ok in general, although it's very slow off the mark. Good on the motorway and through town, but lack of lumbar support on the driver's seat takes it's toll on long journeys.

What's it like to park?

Good to park, can get it into most spaces in the city.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Beware of the pre-2002 models with automatic headlights. A common problem is that the lights switch themselves on and off for no reason, even in bright sunshine. It's a fault with the indicator stalk and can be expensive to fix. Similar problems with the climate control, blows cold air even when on the hottest setting. Dents like paper too, if you so much as sneeze near the car there'll be a dent.

What's most practical about your car?

Boot size is good, storage bins under the passenger seat are a good idea.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Would be the automatic headlights and the climate control if they worked properly.....
