Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I can't afford a better car - and wouldn't pay £350 not to have a bright red car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it looks very 'cute' - which isn't me, but agree it has a cheap feel about it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely not.
What are you likely to buy next?
If I had an extra £1000 or so, probably a Yaris, ideally though a car with more power, a radio that could be swapped out for DAB and seats that didn't feel like they had come from Argos.
