Summary
What does this car say about you?
It is a fun car and I like the attention it gets wherever I go. I think driving a car so small says that I don't need a big car to prove my masculinity.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone I know likes it, just a shame it's not in the red like the old one, that is the best colour for a car of this size.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably not because parts are difficult to find or very expensive (eg shocks at £180 a pop is ridiculous for a car of this weight).
What are you likely to buy next?
Just passed my car test so looking for something a bit different, but might settle for something like a 106, micra, or anything that isn't a massive jump in size.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not the fastest in the world, but will do 70mph. Because it is so light the handling can get a little loose at speed.
What's it like to park?
An absolute breaze to park as it is only 1400mm wide, Had 2 of them parked on my drive and it is only a single garage.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Handbrake was badly adjusted and radio didn't work, but I easily sorted that with new fuse and adjusting handbrake properly.
What's most practical about your car?
Easy to park and fuel economy is great, fill up about once a month would be even better with a tune up.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Like the alloys because the disks are really tiny.
