Bought second hand, GBP 2,300 with 21,000 miles on the clock.
Costs
We have done 125 miles and the tank is just under three quarters full. Insurance was surprisingly cheap.

On the road
Driving
Once you get used to the gears, it performs far better than you would expect for a 800cc engine. Cornering is good, suspension is excellent.
Performance
Much better than expected for a small engine. Ride is superb and speed bumps show how good the suspension is.

Living with it
Reliability
New to me, but no problems whatsoever at present.
Image
Worried about this when I bought it. Ladies think that it is cute, so great image there! Men think it's too small until they ride it and then go very quiet: Definitely a quart in a pint pot!
Comfort
Firm seats are excellent on long journeys. It's a Tardis: a derisory friend commented that it has better rear legroom than a brand new Clio.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser fitted as standard. No alarm, but not a target for thieves apparently.

N/A as serviced by reseller.
