In their own words

Nippy little car that is very easy to park. Surprising level of comfort for 4 adults with lots of headroom. Bought this car as I was looking for one that my mother could get in and out easily from a wheelchair. Passenger seat height adjusts so this was perfect. Very small boot when seats up but when down can fit loads in! No roof rack available nor can you tow anything so forget about carrying bikes externally Rear hatch flexes too much for a rear cycle carrier. Fairly good driving view as you can get quite high but watch out for the thick A pillars than can block your eye-line round corners. The car is fairly basic and the radio though does a good job for what it was made for does not have Bluetooth nor aux inputs. Had a minor problem with front speakers not working and found that contacts on the speakers had badly corroded, in fact had rusted so much they had fallen apart. Seems damp can get to them easily. As I said before it has a high driving position that also has a drawback of knowing when its windy as it does feel a bit like driving a van in high winds. Bit solid suspension too but comfortable to drive mid distance, around 120 miles, at a time. Good and nippy in town and also reaches 70 mph no problem when on motorways etc. In conclusion not a bad little car.
