Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They have never really said anything - it's an ordinary car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No - I would never buy another one - the suggested MPG is the reason we bought it and the ACTUAL MPG returns are worse than the other car in the family which is a 1.6 automatic 7 year old petrol car.
What are you likely to buy next?
Toyota Yaris or Nissan Note?
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£9,200
When did you buy the car?
May 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
The deal was ok and we used the "swappage" £1,000 discount scheme.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Economy
What was the dealer like?
Ok BUT we had to argue through the management level to get a cashback deal honoured and it took months and an awful lot of hard work & confidence in our argument to simply get what we had been promised.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very poor power. Very poor economy! Very disappointed!
What's it like to park?
It is no different than any other car to park.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The coil pack had failed which had been the case from just months. We noticed it in the "sluggishness" and lack of power & poor economy. The Vauxhall dealer told us to let the engine bed in & for us to return if it does not settle. It took 2 years to get it sorted.
What's most practical about your car?
Cheap tax.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
CD player is ok.
