Didn’t buy from a dealer then goes on to talk about the dealer’s wife. Is this some kind of kinky code?
Anyway why are we bothered about a car you bought 12 years ago?

Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£1,500
When did you buy the car?
August 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Thought I got a fair deal. Dealer knocked £200 off the screen price as I had no part ex.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Good price. Extremely clean. Spacious. Should be reliable.
What was the dealer like?
Dealer's wife was very friendly and helpful. Dealer himself was quite bad mannered - He even took a phone call whilst carrying out the payment transaction - Very rude!
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quite easy to drive with a nice steering feel thru' the leather-trimmed wheel! Gear change a bit clunky but seems solid. Brakes not as good as I am used to but they do the job.
What's it like to park?
Quite easy to park as it's very compact. Can't see the bonnet from the driver's seat but you get used to that. Visibility is pretty good but front pillars are thicker than I'm used to
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Rear hatch lever sticking - sprayed it with grease but I think it needs a new return spring! Nothing else, thankfully!
What's most practical about your car?
Very compact and exeptionally spacious or the external size! Sliding rear seats to create a larger boot area is welcome at times.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Quite well equipped and particularly like the lovely leather seats, wheel and gear knob!
