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

In their own words

Bought this car pre registered after a LOT of research for the cheapest tax and the excellent fuel economy. This particular model has a six speed gearbox but the ratios are very close with six feeling barely higher than fifth in a five speed. I drive it mostly in eco mode and Very gently. Also live in rural area. The boot is small and we have struggled to fit four adults and a 3year old in car seat in. Back seat space is limited . Washable seat covers are great. Sat nav is slow and laggy. And radio struggles to switch to strongest signal. We often have to manually tune. Hands free telephone system is okay but microphone position is just above the rearview mirror so driver has to raise their voice to well above normal levels to be heard by the caller.
Apart from these small niggles it has been a brilliant car. Great fuel economy and £0 road tax (rules changed in 2017/18 I think) ideal for smaller families, older couples. And drivers of a certain age as the height of the car and larger door opening makes it easier to get in and out of the driver's seat. Passenger seat is not height adjustable on my model. I would recommend. And have kept this much longer than intended because of the money saving.
