  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    The car wasn't bought for me so was a convenience. This car says getting things done. No problem, reliable and sunny. Speaks loads about fun.

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

    The rear has not enough space. Otherwise they love it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    At the right price, I would definitely buy this car again, but is isn't a family car - still the grandmother and father got in o.k. I think it's the handles that help too.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    No other in mind at present.
