    What does this car say about you?

    Sporty little hot hatch, but doesn't look like it. My wife says it makes her look good.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Like the car, love the look of it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I would buy this car again as it's a great little car, drives well on A and B roads, and also performs well on the motorways. Ride is a little bumpy but that wouldn't put me off. Gearbox is not as positive as i would like but still not enough to stop me buying one.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Something of a similar size.
