Least practical = boot and access to rear seats. 3 Summary 3 out of 5 What does this car say about you? Bit of a show-off and a bit individual (they were less common in 2003). What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car? Liked it, but thought it was a bit small. Would you buy this car again and why? No, the reliability was mediocre and the price is beyond us now. I would particularly warn anyone on a budget against buying a used one without a long and comprehensive warranty. What are you likely to buy next? Some sensible small hatch with a good reliability reputation and price, eg. Kia Rio. Buying experience 4 out of 5 Type of dealer you bought from? Franchised Did you buy this car new? New What price did you pay? - When did you buy the car? August 2003 Did you get a good deal and why? Got trip computer thrown in for nothing but no other discount. Is there any special reason why you bought this car? My wife was absolutely desparate to own one, I said it had to diesel for the economy. What was the dealer like? Ocean Mini Falmoutha: abosolutely superb service throughout ownership.

Quite a few, eg. central locking at one year, rear suspension arms at two years, steering rack at three and half years (replaced for free despite being out of warranty.
