No

£3,200

When did you buy the car?

December 2004

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not really but small autos command a higher price. I think there was somethingu p with the bonnet - it was very rippled - but i didn't have much time to make a choice as I needed a car and only had an automatic licence.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Mt old car had given up so I needed a new one urgently.

What was the dealer like?

Not bad. They gave me a raesonable amount for the rusty heap I gave in. to them this wasn't a very high-ranking deal so I didn't feel they were bothered about me.

What's it like to drive?

Pretty good, needs a little more ooompfh for an auto engine though - didn't much like hills!

What's it like to park?

Reasonably easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The gearbox leaked fluid. the speedo stopped working, it immobilised itself one day when it dried out too much after a rainstorm - apparently the sunroof permits water into the immobiliser electrics. That was a fun afternoon.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size, runs nicely.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Certainly not the immobiliser! I did like the colour but there was nothing else particularly noteworthy about it.
