• Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Despite the fact that it is a small car, I feel that it is classless and appeals to drivers of all ages. Modern but not flash, someone who is not image conscious, but concerned with environmental issues

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    All think it's great. They often miss the fact that there are two rear doors because of the design. Amazed at the space inside, yet laugh at the size of the boot.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes because it is cheap to run, yet has good safety levels. It can cope with my 80 mile daily commute and is fun.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I'll tell you in 3 years!

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    I love the roarty note of the 3 cylinder engine, although it gets quite noisy on the road, which requires turning the radio up very loud. Quite happy to cruise at motorway speeds. Seat backs are very comfortable, but wish the squabs could be more supportive, especially when taking corners

    What's it like to park?

    a doddle!

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Anoying squeaking noise coming from passenger seat, the top of the driver's door vibrates and the clutch pedal catches on the carpet.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Its small size, ease of driving, more roomy than you would expect,split folding rear seats, remote central locking

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    blue seats and blue trimmed door handles and standard rev counter on mine, which is the Urban Move (although the brochure shows red trim), aircon, socket for MP3. I also paid for rear speaker set and glovebox lid and recommend them both. I like the way all the controls glow orange in the dark. Shame that the interior light comes on only when the driver's door is opened (does not work with other doors)
