Either modern man in touch with his feminine side or a tight wad.

They love it- it's so cute.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Doubtful- I have never had the same car twice-but who knows.

£7,200

I did ok. Robinsons of Norwich. Efficient and did everything they said. Got a reasonable price for my p/ex. Up! came with service 3 year pack which was a bonus plus full size spare.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a reliable car for city driving plus occasional motorway driving. Plus needed 50+mpg, low running cost etc.

What was the dealer like?

Very professional. Deal done within an hour. Car prepared and ready on time.

What's it like to drive?

Absolutely brilliant. I once had a Mini clubman 1275 GT back in the 80's and it reminds me of that- not quick but highly entertaining on country roads. LOVE IT.

What's it like to park?

Piece of cake!!!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet- and I'm sure it wont!!!!

What's most practical about your car?

The driving position is QUITE EXCEPTIONAL- for someone of my size- 6'3" and 18 stone(rugby player size!!) it is amazing to have this level of comfort in such a small car. The car is a real TARDIS- and I can stretch my left leg out!!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

There are no gadgets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Embrace the simplicity-much less to go wrong in 5 years time when some spotty 18 year old has it!!!!
