Summary
What does this car say about you?
Young, student, small family, second car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love her (she's called Chloe) my girlfriend thinks its very spacious and more modern than most cars our age group have.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes and No, I would buy it again at my age but as I am getting older I feel the cars a bit too small and a bit too weak but at my age yes definitely its great on fuel and reliable.
What are you likely to buy next?
I have my eyes set on a Honda civic 1.6 sport. I now work at a Honda dealership and think I will go with my brand now to reap the benefits of working there its like the Clio but just a little extra space, power and looks.

Independent

No

£1,100
When did you buy the car?
February 2014
Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I needed to buy my first car.
What was the dealer like?
Friendly he did not have a wide range of cars but owned a garage so I used that to my advantage to ask for a free MOT because it was due in 3 months.
