    What's it like to drive?

    What a great car. This car has amazing acceleration for a small car and the exhaust note sounds fab. This car just feels like it wants to sprint everywhere. I did a trip to cambridge last week of 435 miles with a mixture of motorway, A and B roads. I averaged 66 miles an hour and got an amazing 53.4mpg. Who wants a diesel at todays diesel prices when a petrol car can do that. This really is just a fantastic car. why did they stop making them

    This car is just fabulous. We have only had it 4 weeks but we have done over 1500 miles. Not missed a beat

    What's most practical about your car?

    very practical little car, amazing rear seats that give huge leg room in the back. more room than our Vauxhall vectra

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Where do I start. I just love the electric glass panoramic roof, feels like you are driving a convertible when its back. Leather seats are lovely especially with kids. The moveable rear seats are just great for getting 2 large adults in the back or fidge that we collected from the shop last week
