On the road
Driving
A pleasant drive the gear change is very smooth however the steering is a little bit too light which can be annoying when parking for the first few times till you get used to it.
Performance
The 3 cylinder 1.2 needs to be worked hard to get any performance and on the motorway you will have to drop down to 3rd gear to overtake at 70mph.

Living with it
Reliability
It seems very well put together, only had faults with the rear washer tube popping off. The build quality is very good and reassuring but at that price it should.
Image
A good looking car the twist comes with alloys which make it very attective especially if you go for a met black one, but its a ladies car ONLY.
Comfort
The seats are extremely comfy and supporting and there is plenty of leg room in the front and back also a lot of height room as well feels a lot bigger inside than it actually is.

Service
The rear washer tube kept on popping off three times and that could of been avoided if they clipped the tube on properly the first time, but it was done under warranty and there was no problem getting a courtesy car.
