Franchise

Yes
What price did you pay?
£19,000
When did you buy the car?
November 2004
Did you get a good deal and why?
first new car so didn't haggle enough for a discount. Will require much more of a carrot from the next salesman i meet.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
too many kids for normal saloon, and the boot would be useful
What was the dealer like?
Fair enough, the salesman was a personal friend but wouldn't use him again. The after sales service was awful and too much was suddenly not covered by the warranty.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
ok, nothing special, not much road feel through the steering.
What's it like to park?
fine once you get used to the front length, cannot see the front of the car from driving position

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
lots!, the autogear stick was excessively worn after two months, the lifetime lightbulbs have needed replacing three times at some expense (can't get to them!) the keyless entry system has developed a mind of its own, the wiring to the blower switch had melted, apparently we were lucky it didn't catch fire, the rear seat belt return has failed on one side, the auto gearbox has failed several times sounding like it has hit something, the interior back seat shades fell to pieces, the auto wipers are unreliable, the boot catch fell to bits.
What's most practical about your car?
good second row leg room, cavernous boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
sun roof excellent, auto lights useful, keyless entry and start brilliant when working.
