Description
Small Car 4 doors 5 seats
Manual

I have Holden Astra Hatch. I choose it as I could fit my bike in the back without removing its wheel. The thing is I more cycle about to work, shops, friends, Blues bars, etc. so the car is idle for much of the week. A good friend use to borrow my car a lot when I traveled, but they are overseas. She had suggested Car Next Door. She had a dog who enjoyed car trips. So I don't mind pets in the car so long as it is tidied afterward. The vehicle is 10 years old, fuel efficient, and mechanically very reliable. It has also accumulated the usual few scratches and marks so I can be less anxious about how it is treated. I endeavor to keep it clean and tidy inside, so appreciate it if you can do the same. There is a torch in the glove box and first aid kit under the seat

This was its the last ride after 7 years of car sharing! If there was a star rating for cult status, this car would get 10/10! A memorable experience for a total newbie like me, which ranged from deep anxiety (when I couldn't find the key) to despair (it didn't start at some stage) to utter disappointment (well, who in their right mind would update the photos that showd the real state of the car). This car has persisted through extraordinary wear and tear, with no panel undinged and no plastic knob uncracked. But no more shall Russell be worried about this little run around: he has found it a new forever home, where it will live out the rest of its days ( just like a blind old cat with FIV that gets adopted from the shelter.) Roll on, little car!

Bluetooth locking system did work very well (be careful, car cannot start if app considers it is closed so don’t use the physical key only to open it), car inside was not clean and no I dictation about the fuel required

The car gear box did not have markings to indicate which gear it was in. As a result, It did not feel safe driving the car.
