My wife bought this car because it is a small cheap runaround. It felt very comfortable to sit in she loved it when we took it for a test drive.

What was the dealer like?

Freindly, helpfull but promised to "t-cut" and pollish the car but failed to do so. He did however recommend an excellant bodywork shop, when after 2 weeks of owning the car someone hit it when we parked in a car park.

Fun, nippy and doesn't mind going down a motorway for a while, but the road noise can intrude.

Good, allround vision and easy steering make it a doddle to park.

Nope. Although it can be a git to get into reverse sometimes.

Fuel effieciency and ease of parking.
