Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not sure, but that isn't why I bought it anyway.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Wife not keen on poor cloth trim on seats, and she thinks they are not comfortable for long distances. I have to agree that her Mini Cooper ones are better.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No - they don't make them any more so I have had to buy a 123 Diesel instead.
What are you likely to buy next?
See above - just bought a 123D.

Excellent.
