As a first car being a new driver most definately but can't cope with the weight of more than 2 adults up hills.

A 1.4L something and then my mum's Ford Puma! Can't wait as they're fab cars!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Really nippy for a 1L engine! Often pass prestige cars on the motor way! Always fun passing Porches! Really low gear ratio but runs out of steam on steep hills so have to change down gears. Excellent gear box on my car. Wish I could take it and put it in my new one as it's really robust but extremely easy to move from one gear to the next.....can do it with one finger!!
What's it like to park?
Really easy! great all round view.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Needed a new starter motor and catalyst as fumes to high but other than that a really good little car
What's most practical about your car?
Great all round vision for a new driver so it's easy to park! Insurance is cheap as chips!
