Yes,pity they have stopped production of this model so will probably go for the Juke next but I'm in no rush to change it for at least 3 years(if its still going strong I will just keep it in the family) after all its Japanese!!!!

Like I said before probably the Juke or the Honda Jazz,it will be Japanese anyway.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I have the 1.8 petrol engine which is quite nippy for the size of the car giving you plenty of low down grunt so making it good for around town and also on the motorway.
What's it like to park?
Its a doddle to park with the high driving position and the rear parking camera.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It hadn't been serviced for 2 years so just needed a good service by my regular garage which I have been using for 20 odd years and i'm pleased to say everything is fine with it apart from it only has 1 key.
What's most practical about your car?
The space is awesome, the driving position is great cos your sat up high so you have a good all round view of the road.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the reversing camera,electric sunroof the climate control and the brakes are great too.
