Summary
What does this car say about you?
It says "look, not all cars have to look the same to be better, If I were a suit, mine would have a better cut and be much sharper!".
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
I don't care. If I'm buying, then its for me & my judgement to decide. Besides I'm not letting them try it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, it has everything I want in a car. Stylish, almost unique looking but easily recognised. It's just the right size. I don't feel like I'm driving a tank , yet, everything seems generous space-wise. Enough gizmo's & Gadgets, E/w front and rear. Great on fuel. Also affordable !
What are you likely to buy next?
I'll have another one of these, probably not new, maybe a 3 year old model again. If I could afford it though, I'd have a nearly new Mercedes coupe.

Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£6,200
When did you buy the car?
May 2014
Did you get a good deal and why?
Dealer gave me what I wanted for my vehicle. Astra 1.6 SRI Juice guzzler! Right.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Economy, style & handling. Oh! Price.
What was the dealer like?
Really helpful, car had full service history and deal gave a full service & taxed and fit new tyres without asking. Ready to drive away the morning after. Didn't try to push me to spend a penny more than my budget. She also rang me 6 weeks later to see how the car was. A first!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
We had a Clio Dynamique sport and I loved the lowness of the car when driving fast on country roads, it seemed to handle so well. This car feels like it's older brother that's done it all before, and sniggers because this one's handling is the Daddy!
What's it like to park?
I also drive a van, so I actually prefer being higher up. Only down-side of it being lower, but like I said I drive a van.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
NO! Sorry I forgot, 90p Bulb!
What's most practical about your car?
I know it sounds a bit lazy, but I love the push button start feature, it feels like it's starting up something special- like a plane. Truly the most practical thing is the economy it does loads of stop start driving and a fair share of 10-15 mile motorway driving and still returns +55 mpg.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Got to be the stereo & iPhone set up, love the steering wheel set-up too!
