Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth and quiet for a small car, good in town or on motorway but could do with more mid-range punch as it has to work hard for overtaking on rural roads, the steering is very light and has little feel

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Suspension bushes all round needing replacing under warranty- apparently this is a common problem. Some other small and apparently common issues; rear wash wipe doesn't work,dash warning buzzer (fuel light, lights on etc)has mysteriously stopped working and fan occasionally blows only hot air. It also cost me £30 to change a headlight bulb because this can only be done at a dealer. The car also uses a lot of oil and coolant and the cambelt change costs around £350
