What does this car say about you?

Friends taking the mickey saying I am flash, but I am not, its a car that I need, not a chelsea tractor, it does get used down dirt tracks, have not had the courage yet to take it more than that off road, but I will

They just simply love it, especially the colour (kashmir blue) it stands out a mile in car parks,

Not sure, keeping this one a while, will see what suzuki have to offer in a few years time in the 4X4 range

What price did you pay?

£13,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes I did, a very good deal on the trade in of the jimny, discount on optional extras and no charge for fitting them

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed more space than the previous Jimny had

What was the dealer like?

The best to be honest, just the way all dealers should be

What's it like to drive?

A lot better than the jimny, winds are not a problem now due to the increased weight of the vehicle, and it just hums along quite happily

What's it like to park?

Not the easiest in the world I guess due to its size, but still good viewing out the rear window for reverse parking

Have you had any problems with the car?

Minor fault with reg plate lights that had arrived at the garage wired up wrongly, not noticed til a week later, took the car back and it was repaired in under two hours

What's most practical about your car?

The size of storage area, not having to practically SIT on your side passengers lap, but still small enough to tuck into a decent parking place

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Wind deflectors again on this one, an optional extra, and so glad they are there
