Summary
What does this car say about you?
Young sporty boy racer.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
When the model was first released, you get a lot of lookers at the traffic light - due to its outstanding shape. Once my gf mistaken a Ferrari which was parked outside our house as the car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I had my fair share of fun - need a bigger car for family and friends. Rear seat is a bit of a squeeze for 2 small person. Very un-comfortable for rear passengers on long journey.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Goes like a bat out of hell. With VVTI engine, you get good MPG yet if u need to, it can give u the juice when u pressed down hard (especially from start or over-taking on M-way).
What's it like to park?
Although the rear view is a bit restricted, after couple of days, u get used to it and never had problem parking. I live in London so parking is always tight!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Absolutely a delight. Nothing goes wrong - which is a first for me. Always had problems with other makes - VW, Ford, Rover
What's most practical about your car?
The hatch back, with the rear seats folded down, is surprisingly LARGE. Largest load managed to carry was a 42" TV with its stand.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Leather and sunroof.
