Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like the sporty look without the sporty insurance quote?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's a great little taxi but the 5 door would have been better.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would definately buy a bigger engine next time. The 1 litre petrol engine is just too slow off the mark at busy roundabouts and junctions.
What are you likely to buy next?
I'm dreading another winter in this so i'd be tempted to go back to a punto, they stick to the road like glue no matter what the weather!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a great little motor with plenty of heart but i wouldn't risk pulling out on a junction without a good gap as it takes a bit to find it's revs. It makes your pulse race around corners as there's lots of roll if you take one a tad fast and steering is futile on snow!
What's it like to park?
Great to park, and that's coming from a woman!!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Had to replace the front suspension drop links at 15,500 miles??
What's most practical about your car?
The size is great for city driving and parking, very nippy around town.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The CD player gets the most use although it tends to make a whirring noise before eventually kicking in. I refuse to use the air con as the petrol needle visibly drops!
