Summary
What does this car say about you?
Don't have too much money, but have a sensible yet sporty car (not a chavved up one I may add!).
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's pretty good, girlfriend and sister both enjoy driving it because of the speed.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, as I need something bigger/faster, but I would recommend a Fiesta.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hopefully something interesting. I have a work van now, so a 300ZX, Supra, GTO/3000GT are the top of my list, but if I can't afford what is available, an MR2 or FTO will do for now.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very good, very nippy and good accelaration, sticks to the road pretty well too.
What's it like to park?
All cars should be pretty easy, I mean it's not that hard right? But this is especially easy due to the small size and good viewing.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all. Bad roads caused suspension top mounts to wear, but that was the only problem for the MOT.
What's most practical about your car?
Small, nimble, easy to park and can fit a fair bit of my crap in it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Very limited... remote boot release?
