Did you get a good deal and why?

Seemed reasonable relative to others of similar spec - more than I intended to spend on a car but had been searching for ages and I liked it!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looked in great condition and documentation all there.

What was the dealer like?

Perfectly pleasant to deal with. We negotiated on deal but only by a fraction as he said he'd have no trouble selling it for the price he'd given .

What's it like to drive?

Easy! Smooth gears, comfortable , small engine so obviously not that powerful but that's fine by me. Boot spacious, with seats down loads of space.

What's it like to park?

My parkings a joke anyway but it seems ok.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes! Rusted exhaust - replaced, broken power steering fluid pipe and loss of power steering- quite scary and pricey , a flat tyre.

What's most practical about your car?

Perfect size for me! First car so hard to compare but seems spacious enough for a small car. Seems ok on fuel but then I haven't driven many long distances yet.
