Summary
What does this car say about you?
Stylish but with an eye on the pennies.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Looked very Nice. Especially in Diablo red metallic.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. If I could find a standard one that had been looked after and not been driven by a "Yoof". Would go for the 1.6 next time. It's quicker with same economy as 1.4. Or even an HDi diesel.
What are you likely to buy next?
Bigger car.
