Style, equipment levels and very comfortable interior

What was the dealer like?

Very eager to sell the car...leading to added bonuses for me!

What's it like to drive?

For a small engine it is pretty impressive, it'll leave a couple of people startled at traffic lights for a 1.1 litre! Quiet a bit of body roll would be my only complaint

What's it like to park?

Light steering and good visibilty make it great to park

Have you had any problems with the car?

The only thing ever to go wrong was the stereo. Once in a blue moon it will decide not to send any sound to the speakers no matter how high the volume goes. Cures itself with a restart though.

What's most practical about your car?

The split folding seats, baggage neat and rear head rests all really help. So does the engines tiny fuel consumption.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Has to be the automatic wipers and lights. Go under a tunnel and your lights instantly illuminate. Wipers come on at the first drop of rain.
