Advantages: 5 doors and spacious boot for buggy.

Disadvantages: If not remote central locking comes with its problems if you have small children.

I find myself regularly defending the smaller car as a family car against the larger hatchback types. As a mum of two children under the age of 3, I would be lost without my little car.
If you want all the hot gadgets then this car is not for you but if you want a safe, economical, fun , roomy (for its class), run around then this car is ideal.

When I have the buggy in the boot there is not much room for the shopping but the front seat will normally suffice. There is lots of space internally and the car seats have plenty of space between them.

When I am darting around from nursery to work or home to shopping the 5 doors are fantastic in getting my young family safely in and out. The child locks on both doors gives me great piece of mind.

The only thing I would change is that I would have opted for the remote central locking as I only have central locking and can only lock the door from the drivers side. Whilst this is a manageable issue its not something I thought about on purchase and I would have definitely paid the extra to make my life that little bit easier especially when getting the children out on main roads.

Overall this car is a fantastic drive and great around the city.

Summary: Great run around, Family friendly and Economical
