In their own words

Went for the 1.2 puretech for the extra power. It is cheap to run, cheap to maintain. Keep on top of belt changes as the puretech engine is known for blocked oil galleys and snapped belts. So oil and filter every 6 months is probably a good idea.

Comfortable seats. Excellent mpg - averaged 71mpg from Midlands to South Wales full with 3 adults in it! I would recommend the flair spec - air con is useful to demist windows.

Only negative I can think of is that the 3 door means you can't mount a roof rack - which would be useful for taking bikes around. But surprisingly practical for such a small car.

Locking wheel nuts are made of cheese. Personally I'd remove them before the removal tool disintegrates - buy 4 additional wheel nuts.

Overall really happy with our little car. It makes an ideal second car, first car or commuting car.
