Hopefully nothing!!! Jokes aside that I like to appear 'UniQue'.

Definitely without hesitation, would look at a new shape model whenever it became available.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It drives very well, it picks up very quickly for a 1.33 small car, I guess because it is light-weight. The steering is very light and accurate. The only niggle I have is that between 1st and 2nd gear it can be overly sensitive, also the ride can be a little 'Jiggly'.
What's it like to park?
Obviously very easy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet.
What's most practical about your car?
The concept that actually becomes a reality that you can fit 4 people inside the car, admittedly for short journeys only, or use the large boot!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Automatic Headlights, Automatic dimming rear view mirror, Auto Wipers... the list could go on! However the keyless entry system is very clever.
