April 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think so - got it from Motorpoint. Best price I could find (service was a bit basic)

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

to replace an old scenic (V reg, 1999, 1.9dTi (100bhp Alize)

What was the dealer like?

ok, but you have to do all of your own admin, and make sure they do everything right.

What's it like to drive?

really nippy - I was concerned that being the 1.5 diesel and the grand scenic it could be sluggish, but am amazed at the power and torque. I have come from a 1.9 dTi (100bhp) scenic, and it's quite a lot quicker than that. It also seems to be very good economy, with the computer showing 50+ mpg

What's it like to park?

not that good - visibility worse than the old shape scenic. it's really big as well which makes it more difficult. parking sensors would definitely be good even on the front (you can't see where the car ends at the front)

Have you had any problems with the car?

I've only had it a week, but no it's been fine.

What's most practical about your car?

It's massive - will be great when we go camping
