Mug

Never? I've had it for 4 months and I am trading it in at a loss of £3k just so I can move on to a better car.

Average

What's it like to drive?

Feels like it might fall over. I'm not confident that it holds the road well. The steering is far too light and the car rattles. It's slow too.

Poor visibility makes it much more awkward than it should be for the size.

It has had the Stop-Start rechecked at the dealer.

The size.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The mpg calculator.
