What does this car say about you?

Wanted something out of the ordinary whilst still wanting practicality and style.

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

Very practical and very comfortable. although some people have been confused by the rear door handles and the boot release.

Without hesitation. fun to drive cheap to run and good to look at.

Haven't thought about it as that wont happen for another 3 years.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£8,000

When did you buy the car?

May 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

I felt the deal was good for the age and mileage of the car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was friendly and helped throughout the buying process.

What's it like to drive?

It is very easy to drive in all areas. Good around town with stop/start helping to keep the economy up. On the motorway it is quiet and comfortable. Driving on winding country roads is rewarding with little body roll or understeer.

What's it like to park?

Rear parking sensors help with smaller spaces but big mirrors and good all round visibility mean that it is very easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Three months in and it has been faultless.

What's most practical about your car?

The fuel efficiency, while not near the stated figures can be relied on to get at least 55MPG without any effort. There have been occasions when the figures have reached into the 60s with little coaxing.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

A tie between the cruise control, making long motorway journeys effortless, and the bluetooth audio connection as my ipod believes the car is less important than itself and wont connect to the usb port.
