    My car

    Sold on the quirkyness of this car, the equipment level and the quality feel compared to other much cheaper city cars. But after driving it for a while the small size does start to get on your nerves a bit. You find yourself looking for bumps and holes in the road to avoid them. Parking however is great, and it really turns heads. Out on the motorway it feels underpowered and frankly a bit scary when you reelise how little metal there is around you at 70mph. Surprisingly practical for everyday city use with back seats folded down. Room for shopping and a passenger. Fun for young people squeezing four in, but not really a prospect for me. Quite like being a passenger with my wife driving as left seat has huge amount of space. Dangerously poor visibility to the left flank through tiny window - easy to miss a car at an oblique junction. Overall it's abit of a cult car; most people would probably do better to buy something more boring.
