Summary
What does this car say about you?
Appreciates a good balance between comfort, practicality and performance. Not swayed by rather sniffy professional reviews.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Wife loves it - friends are not petrol-heads, so I don't think they think anything about it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. Does everything I want, has sat-nav and some nice techy stuff built in for a decent price.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something similar.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£10,900
When did you buy the car?
December 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
Great deal. Car was advertised at £11,500. Pre-registered in September 2013 and superseded by the facelifted version available from April 2014. The differences are almost entirely cosmetic, but price paid was very nearly a 50% reduction.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Pre-registered with 20 miles on the clock. So a real bargain.
What was the dealer like?
Pleasant, urbane, polite, knowledgeable.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very comfortable with smooth, stable ride, but: 1) gear-change not the slickest I have used; 2) six speeds a bit unnecessary - you use the first four just to get to thirty mph.
What's it like to park?
Ok.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No.
What's most practical about your car?
Comfortable five seater with good boot and legroom.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Keyless entry.
