Summary
What does this car say about you?
Likes to have fun on a budget.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it but some find the suspension hard and tiring.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Possibly if I needed a small reliable fun car which hardly ever goes wrong. Great car for a youngster (I'm not one!) due to sporty performance, handling, reliability and relatively cheap insurance.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something bigger and faster but I'll stick with it for a while until I get a bit more cash.

Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£1,700
When did you buy the car?
December 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, the chap I bought it off was very friendly and the car had low mileage for an 04 reg.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I needed something small and cheap to run but fun and sporty so I can enjoy it as well.
What was the dealer like?
Very friendly, he was a private seller.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great down A and B roads but not so good on motorways but that's due to the size of the car, not the engine. The hard sports suspension is fun as the car handles well but can be a bit restless on a long journey.
What's it like to park?
Quite easy really due to its size though the steering is ever so slightly heavier than most small cars due to the fat alloy wheels and tyres.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only wear and tear items like tyres, brakes and a battery (had old one since new) and a fuse.
What's most practical about your car?
Not very big inside sadly, but seats do fold down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Engine is very solid and reliable and it has white coloured alloy wheels which look smart.
