What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?

I needed a higher up than sedan car, for easier getting in and out. I also needed straight seats, no curvy bucket type seats, right angle sitting. Both of us struggled in a lot of cars. We did like the idea of having plenty of space in back when required as well, more than a boot. We did NOT want 4wd or AWD. Nor did we want something big and gas hungry.

What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.

I'd never heard of them. It immediately appealed because the seating was perfect, high up without needing a step to get in, and had the space at back when needed. It wasn't ugly, not hard to park or oversize, just right really. Loved it.

What have you discovered since owning the car?

It can be a bit bouncy. I would not take it off road or on rough ground. It is fairly basic in techy features.

What do you like/dislike about the car?

It suits our needs, it looks kind of small but a surprising amount of space, I fit in a new oven, with packaging no porblem at all. Dislike? I'd like a more modern one, but they seem rare and I couldn't afford more modern anyway.

Any other comments on the car?

We love it. 1500cc, not greedy on fuel, and it's been very reliable too.

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?

Yes

Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?

Yes, a newer one if I needed to. Some of the newer car features would be nice to have and it doesn't have many at all.
