Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's my first car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all like it. The only negative I can think of that my parents don't like is obviously the safety, with it being quite an old car now.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, because I'm a car enthusiast and I don't want to own the same car twice.
What are you likely to buy next?
A Yaris T Sport if I can get hold of one.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I can't compare it to anything as this is my first car, but my Dad's ad a go and he seemed pleasantly surprised. A bit bouncy but holds the road well at speed and I think it's surprisingly quick for a 1.0. I definitely don't think the 'official' 0-60 time of 16 and a bit seconds is true.
What's it like to park?
Other people on here have said how hard it is with the lack of power steering but after a while you soon get used to it. I find it fairly easy with it's small dimensions.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet. Touch wood.
What's most practical about your car?
I'm going to say either the amount of space inside (including the boot), or the MPG.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Ha, I think there are better equipped prison cells.
