Yes without hesitation, I love it! It makes me feel good when I get in it. I feel good when I drive it.

Franchised

No

£8,500

February 2012

Looks good, surprisingly spacious inside, drives well, just good fun and again it looks good!
What was the dealer like?
The dealer was the usual type but at least the salesman really new the car inside out and was easy to get on with.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I find the steering very responsive and it accelerates well and for such a small car really feels safe. Even on very wet roads I always feel like it sticks to the road never feel i'm going to loose it.
What's it like to park?
Because the rear screen is small and angled it's very hard to judge how far away anything is behind you. It takes some getting used but the mirrors are massive so it's getting easier.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing gone wrong with it so far but I've only had it for a couple of months. It starts first time and is quiet when running so far so good.
What's most practical about your car?
The front is quite spacious for the size of the car. Also the boot is a good size and really good for the weekly shop. A lot of reviews mention the boot as a 'con' but we've found it a 'pro' as it's a decent size very practiacl.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the Blue&Me, the usb socket is great for playing off of a memory stick very cool.
