Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

It's a great little car - perfect for two people. It's a real fun car to drive. It's a shame it's a four seater because I like being able to offer people lifts to places on occasions, but I don't regularly need to do so. I bought it for nostalgic purposes too - my first car was a mini! (different era....) That one went like a dream too, until it didn't any more! There have been a couple of niggly things wrong with it. I don't drive many miles but my colleague, who regularly drives over 200 miles a day, had lots of niggly problems with hers, so this is something to bear in mind.

How reliable do you find the car?

Niggly ongoing problems with it - so not easily fixed but not huge problems either

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

A dream to drive on the flat.
