Summary
What does this car say about you?
Poser / hairdresser but everyone who drives it loves it.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
some love, others think its impractical. My little nephews think its the best ever considering their parents drive a people carrier.
Would you buy this car again and why?
definitely buy again, once the kids are grown up. I have to sell it because my first child is on the way and it won't really suit a baby seat.
What are you likely to buy next?
something that will take a baby seat, maybe join the golf brigade.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great to drive. Very low position so can be alittle intimidating on the motorways when a 40ft truck is beside you. Gear box is the best I have used. The 1.6 could do with a little more power. Fuel consumption depends on how the throttle has been used but it needs to be revvved to get the most from it.
What's it like to park?
2 seater so not much to park..no problems

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing. I love this car. The 1.6 can be a little sluggish but its not a car made for speed.
What's most practical about your car?
Its not a practical car but it is great to drive.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Spec pretty minimal. Installed a Dension Ice aux IPOD to reduce the requirement for cds.
