I like blue.

My 5 year old daughter loves it.

No

May 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Knocked off the equivalent of £500 by adding rear parking senors and tax.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

For some fun.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent.

What's it like to drive?

Great fun. Very predictable in its handling. A bit skittish in the wet. The engine is great. Not the quickest off the lights but it just keeps on revving.

What's it like to park?

A git. Needs rear park as you cannot see everything around you. You are sat quite low down in the car so the side windows are higher than you would expect.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The suicide doors.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The engine. Hear it wail.
