Part leather - the fabric part is awful tho, seat covers are a must! Pity I didn't save the phots from the advert cos it's not on the 'net any more. I had a look round it, had a test drive, it was fine to drive and I couldn't see any reason not to buy it so I did!
Advertised at £1695, I got it for £1500 but had to pay for the tax cos my nerve failed me!
It's red which IMO is a lot better than boring dark blue (well I am a woman, after all!) and I'm pleased to have an estate cos when you're not good at lifting stuff it's a darn sight easier to get stuff in the back with no 'lip'. There's a clever doodah in the boot area where it's carpet one side but you can turn it over and it's a plastic tray with a surround - ideal for taking stuff to the dump etc. It's got all the bells and whistles - climate control, pas, leccy windows, leccy buttons to move the seat up and down, and it'll take me years to learn how to use the radio/CD changer!
Poor salesman was telling me all the wonderful things it has and I had to tell him I'm not really excited by all those, I just want a car that's reliable!

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
