And so it was that my lifestyle needs changed, and with the family on the verge of expanding it was necessary to get rid of my 3 door Renault Clio for something a bit bigger. I wasn?t actually planning to change car quite so soon but it all happened by accident during a visit to Fords of Winsford, a car supermarket in Cheshire.

In reality, I think I had timed my order luckily, as it was at the dealership and on the road inside 3 weeks. Nice result! Firstly, I have to say (regarding the negative reviews) that Fiat, like all other car manufacturers, ship an enormous number of cars from the factory and onto the roads.
