Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
not had it a week yet but it has over two and a half years warranty left so not worried.i have just traded it in with 50000 miles on the clock and have not had a single problem.
What's most practical about your car?
for a 'supermini' it is very big on the inside with a good size boot and seats that fold down in the back and in the long run should be cheap to run.currently getting 51mpg but hope to get more once the engine has some wear on it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
has to be air con once you have had it you dont want to be without it and the aux point on the radio so you can plug your ipod straight in.
