Summary
What does this car say about you?
Fun loving, game for a laugh, I take pleasure in driving. Enjoyment matters more than practicality at this moment in time.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
You have to be up quickly in the morning to get hold of the keys. I have yet to hear a bad word said about the car from anyone.
Would you buy this car again and why?
In a heartbeat, this car provides me with such an exciting feeling, whether I'm behind the wheel or looking at it parked on the driveway. I would quite like the 2.0 litre though, a little extra power would be fantastic.
What are you likely to buy next?
Bit of jump but a Land Rover of some description, most likely a Freelander.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I have not found an aspect of driving where I am not grinning and giggling whilst at the wheel of this car. I still get goosebumps when I see it parked knowing I have the keys on my person.
What's it like to park?
If you are lacking in height, like me, then the front end can seem endless but apart from that, extremely easy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong and I expect the car to outlive me.
What's most practical about your car?
Surprisingly spacious boot despite the size of the car. Big enough for the weekly shop and still allows you to have the roof down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The folding roof, I will never get tired of looking up and seeing nothing but sky and the infinity that is space whilst sat at a red light or in traffic.
