People who don't know what they are talking about say it is girly. I think it is a great starter car, and those people are wrong.

Apathetic

Would you buy this car again and why?

Nope, I hope to get something a bit better in the future!

Golf

No

What price did you pay?

£1,400

When did you buy the car?

April 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

It was OK. I should have driven it for longer as the heater was broken (stuck on hot).

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a first car.

What was the dealer like?

Nice guy, but you expect that from a dealer.

What's it like to drive?

Great to drive. Really nippy, surprisingly good acceleration. Not so good fuel consumption though.

What's it like to park?

As it is so small, it is very easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Heating was broken, stuck on hot when I got it. That has happened to other people I know with the same car. Also, I had problems with the leads and that caused me to break down.

What's most practical about your car?

Cheap

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

So minimal I can't recommend one!
