    What does this car say about you?

    That I appreciate value for money, through initial purchase to overall economy.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Everyone loves it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I tend to buy something different each time but if the deal was right . . .

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I'm a Merc driver as a rule but current circumstances lead me to be sensible, who knows what the future brings. If my criteria remains the same I'd buy another Pixo, a Picanto or an i10.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Nippy and responsive engine, very light clutch and steering, restricted rearward visibility but when you knw about it you can take extra care.

    Very simple, the back window, give or take an inch or two, is the end of the car.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    I got a foot shower from a connection to the rear washer that had come apart. A common problem I gather, but it was easy to put right myself.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Storeage space. Plenty of little spaces to bit bits and bobs for such a small car.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    I had alloys fitted, much smarter than the plastic covers. Only paid cost price though.
