They all like it although the men in the family take the mick.

Yes and no. When it working properly it is brilliant, have never had any problems with reliability but a lot of things seem to go wrong in sequence when it gets a bit older so if I was to buy another I would rather go for a new one than used.

Sometimes it is nice to drive and it goes perfectly, other times the steering is a bit off. It is very nippy gets up to speed quite quickly and can ovetake easily.

Would be better if it had power steering but it is quite easy, nice and small.
