Economy
Value
The Roadster does retail at the high end of the market in small sporty cars but if you compare it to the Street Ka its fantastic value for money, especially if space is not to important. I see mine as a cheap Merc!
Costs
Servicing isnt to bad, Ive had my Roadster 5 months and its first service was about £130 at Smart of Hull.

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable despite small cabin space.
Performance
At low speeds (up to about 60mph?) the Roadster is great B road fun, on the motorway things take a little bit longer but its no worse than a Corsa or Punto. Top Speed with a good run about 115mph

Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all.

Fantastic.
Comfort
Drove from Leeds to Stranraer without stopping, it took about 3.5hrs and felt fine on arrival, The best way to explain it is once your in its comfortable!

Security and Service
Security
No problems with security, the car locks itself once you set off and after about 2mins if you unlock it and forget, just dont leave your keys in it!
Service
Fantastic Service from Smart of Hull - Looked at Derwents in Leeds and the service was appalling in comparison.
