It was too small once child number three was on her way. Just didn't feel safe. GOOD POINTS ***************************** I bought this car just after the car had been discontinued,so the price had plumeted. It had a cd player.

I am writing this review as a previous owner of one of these nightmares. I bought it because I loved the cherry red it came in and it was reasonably priced with 5 doors.I had just had my second child and was fed up of my 3 door car. The car looked absolutely beautiful,sporty.I thought ,hhmm I l look good behind that,lol.

I was in desperate want of a new car, but unfortunately don't know a lot about cars, and did not have a big budget.

Having got this as a company car, I felt let down because it's so small, and looks without character. The body was silver, yet I thought, should I be driving a car like this? I took it out for a run around town while I had to pick up a few things, and I was pleasantly surprised! With the CD Player going on around you, and the nice comfy chairs, I was able to rev up the engine and I felt like I was driving something else; something bigger. It took corners like a dream and yet it was so quiet without the air conditioning or the CD Player on, it sounded really cool. I've had it for about a week now, and having driven about 600 miles in it, I am ...  Read the complete review
