Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like something different from the boring German stuff.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's a marmite car - you love it or hate it. A guy the other day asked me what it was as he thought it was 'gorgeous'. You make your mind up.
Would you buy this car again and why?
So far, yes. These things are stupidly cheap for the enjoyment. It's also surprisingly practical and as long as you keep the maintenance in check they're extremely reliable.
What are you likely to buy next?
Struggling to find something else I'd buy.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
My god, how quick is this thing? Will worry an M5 BMW in the right situation - a car costing 20 times more!

Turning circle not the best, but you get use to it, just take your time. Visibility better than I expected.
