  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very fun. Doesn't feel like a 1.0 litre at all. Very quick to get off the line, and the exhaust note is sweet. Handles like on rails. Not too noisy at speed, and will comfortable cruise at 80mph. Can be slow with 4 adults in it though.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy. Good all round vision. Size means finding a parking space is much easier.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing in two years yet.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It has to be the cost to run. 55MPG, £35 a year tax. With the cost of petrol going up all the time, this is a sensible option for an everyday car.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Everyone notices the sticky out rev counter. Ipod connection of stereo as standard is handy too.
