Economy
Value
Paid £5,995 on the road for the LX and then got free insurance.
Costs
Low tax group, low insurance group and 48 mpg. Heard that servicing is expensive but it's needed to keep the warranty

On the road
Driving
Excellent - light and nippy.
Performance
Thought I would have to compromise my style of driving with such a small engine - but none of it - it flies.

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good - but does stall easily. Don't like lack of spare tyre and will have to buy one.
Image
Eye catching. It really stands out! Lots of admirers.
Comfort
Just the right balance - nice interior, good room in back, lovely high driving position. Only drawback is tiny boot which means some luggage has to go in cabin on trips.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser and alarm should make theft harder.
