Advantages: Good value as many extras.

Disadvantages: Small backseat area for adults.

This is a car that you will not see about much on British roads which is a shame as it isn't a bad car at all. With a major package of extras like Air Conditioninf, Power Steering, ABS, 1.4 Engine etc and all for £6995 it is hard to fault. There are however a few things you need to know. The interior is a little down market but then at the price they had to make some savings. It also can from a standing start be a little noisey on take off from the exhaust. Once on the move the engine is nippy and at 70 mph it is at 3500 rpm but it doesn't sound it. There is more tyre noise than engine noise with at times a little too much wind noise. It holds the road well with little chop on corners and is not really affected by cross winds despite its size. The driving position is quite high for a small car which is conforting as you get a good forward view. The bonnet cannot be seen which means you cannot see the front of the car for parking etc. This needs a little time to get used to so that you can park the car without someone being outside to guide you. Back seat adult pasengers will not enjoy a long trip but kids will be fine. Fuel consumption so far has been on average about 46 MPG and this includes all types of driving conditions.
All in all a car that the wife approves of and one that I do not mind driving despite my 6ft+ frame and it goes well above 70mph if called upon without complaint.
As I said it is a shame the only imported a small number of these cars from Japan. If you get a chance to try one do so. You might be driving home in one when you least expected it.
