Advantages: Economical, Low insurance, Lower tax band

Disadvantages: Paper thin skin, body roll

I owned a Citreon AX Debut, K-Reg, for one year and found it to be an excellant little car. It was very economical, and has the discounted tax band now, the Debut had a 947cc engine, but this didn't stop it pulling away, or travelling around at a far lick everywhere. The odd thing was the boot, it was plastic! However this only made the car lighter, which helped with fuel consumption and speed.
I had one accident in this vehicle, a dust cart reversed into my parked car and managed to damage one whole side of the motor, which showed me how flimsy the metal skin of this car is. Due to citreon suspension there is a certain degree of body roll when cornering quickly, although the cars handling is not affected by this. All in all i had no expensive problems over the year, it is an excellant little car for a runabout, or a first vehicle.
