    I have always wanted one, saw this one on the forecourt and it was love at first sight!

    Brilliant! Sytner in Coventry were lovely and they have handled everything well, called back when they said they would and now I'm just waiting for my TLC service book Richard!!

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Fantastic, nippy, handles the road like glue and is like nothing else I've ever driven!

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No its put a smile on my face every time I've driven it!

    What's most practical about your car?

    Well I wouldn't say practical, the boot is small but the seats fold and its fairly roomy but if I wanted practical I'd have bought an MPV!

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The MP3 socket is excellent, no need for a multi changer cd when you can load your i-pod up with a library of songs!
