    Old before my time.

    Always ask where my pipe and slippers are.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    No. Turning circle is terrible. Also, given the size of the car, the back seats are tiny with no leg room. Even the smallest of my children struggle for leg room and as for adults, they'll only sit in the back once...

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Mazda6 estate.
