Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I love my boxy car and would own another one if I could, however, mine is one of the most recent of this version and very low mileage so I don’t think I’ll find one much better! I have fallen in love with its odd shape and high driving position, so I’ll probably stick with similarly shaped cars and micro SUVs for a while. I have a soft spot for quirky cars! It’s worth noting that this car does lack in power and leans a lot when cornering, which is why I didn’t give it 4 stars, but it’s certainly ‘oddly attractive’! They’ve served me well as a first car, and I hope to have mine for quite a while longer.

How reliable do you find the car?

The only problems I’ve had with this car (so far!) have been age related - such as the brake pads needing replaced - or due to my own stupidity (broken wipers in the snow, broken door mechanism going over some potholes too fast)

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I previously owned a 2001 Agila so I knew what to expect. This one was definitely an improvement though!
