Demonstrator and wrong price advertised.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Style, economy, performance and value retention.

What was the dealer like?

Alright.

What's it like to drive?

Fun! Always look forward to driving it. Puts a smile on your face. The engine noise is quirky too.

What's it like to park?

Easy. It's tiny (and the eco mode makes the steering extra light!).

Have you had any problems with the car?

No but only had for a few weeks!

What's most practical about your car?

Size and economy. Lots of people have been moaning about not getting the claimed mpg. I decided to work hard at driving Eco style and got 69mpg. Not bad on country roads! This car does what you ask it to. If you want performance - stay off the Eco mode and rag it, it'll be only to happy to oblige. You want economy - learn to drive economically and you'll get the 70 ish it claims. What an engine, what a car!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Blue and me is AMAZING!
