Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's very girlie, and I'm a bloke, but still loved it. It's quirky and fun.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They loved it. It's cute. How could they not?!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. We sold it a few days ago simply because of imminent baby arrival - two seats not so good anymore. It was reliable, cheap to run and insure and always put a smile on your face.
What are you likely to buy next?
We replaced with a sensible family Focus. Yawn!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I loved driving this car - precise, nippy, nimble, and immense fun.
What's it like to park?
Easypeasy with the roof down. All round visibility not so good with it up. But it's a tiny car so fits in most gaps.

Enormous boot for such a tiny car.
