    What does this car say about you?

    Either I am a cheapskate or I realise its a better deal than a 4 yr old Ford or Vauxhall.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Nohody has said much either way, my wife loves it but its not like I have put a Bugatti on the drive.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    So far I have to say yes. Bought as a cheap economical run about and it fits the bill. Racing drivers should probably go elsewhere.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Nothing for a while but will certainly look at Suzuki again.

    So far all is well.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Turns on a 5p piece and gearbox is very precise. As a 6 footer I can drive it without discomfort too.

    For a base spec, the on board computer was an unexpected bonus. On a steady local commute shows nearly 60mpg in real world driving.
