Advantages: Looks stylish

Disadvantages: THE CAR

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.
Bad points
*****************************
Should have left it where it was.It drank petrol so fast I was scared to go anywhere I wasnt desperate to go.

Interior was as cheap and plasticy as you can get.

It did not stick to the road as well as it should after speeds of 40 mph.

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 could throw it into parking spaces almost without looking.Compare it to the big cars I have to have now,with 3 children.This was easy to park.And it had a very small turning circle.

Looks stylish and all colour coded.Nice finish to the exterior of the car.

MY OPINION.
*********************

If you are use to driving tiny cars that feel like you are driving a shopping trolley then buy this car.
If you want something sturdy dont bother.
Its a fun little car but thats it.Doesnt feel safe to me at all.
The fact that you can get a decent year and body of this car for less than £2000 should tell you something.

Summary: YUCK!!!!!!
