What does this car say about you?

Im a practical but stylish mum!

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

A polo was the only small car we could find that suited my needs, was in our price range and my other half was happy to drive without looking too girly!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes its a good all rounder and suits all my needs. -.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably an Eos or a Scirocco although the new astra advert makes me want to buy another astra!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,985

When did you buy the car?

June 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Having looked around at polos the price was very competitive considering the low mileage of the car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a reliable runaround.

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful and not pushy at all - if anything a little too laid back!

What's it like to drive?

Very nice, nippy for running errands locally my only complaint its its a bit slow on the motorway when overtaking but that might just be me comparing it to my last car which had a bigger engine.

What's it like to park?

Fine, good visability even for a little shortie like me! Parking censors would be a bonus - but thats just me being lazy!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not as yet - fingers crossed writing this doesnt jinx it!

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is diceptively spacious so I can fit the pushchair in it without too much trouble.

Its pretty basic and doesnt really have any gadgets or accessories.
