So far yes, however have only had it for 2000 miles so some of the clutch reviews are a little scary. Had no problems starting in cold weather or in general. Parts are cheap for it aswell.
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly a bigger Seat, however I will probably go back to Ford.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very comfortable, smooth gear changes, very light steering. Quite hard suspension. Fuel economy is great even in stop/start traffic although not as great as reviews say, I am getting about 250 miles per tank and I do not rag it around.
What's it like to park?
Aside from being a small car the windows are very big so you can easily see and park easier.

Fuel economy!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
