    My car

    This is my wifes car - lucky her! I collected this from London and drove it all the way to Dunblane, years ago driving a 1.0ltr car that distance would fill you with dread, this was unbelievable! Firstly it drives like a mini Golf superb - even the 75Bhp engine can nip along it's fun! The reason I travelled so far was because this car came with Elec sunroof, cruise control, rear parking sensors and the upgraded stereo what a spec for such a small car. To drive it's superb, grips the road well and absorbs any bumps etc without any problems. The only thing I'd mention is the diesel like noise at idle being a 3 cylinder but once you are up and running it is fine. It is roomy and to be honest if you are looking for a small city car or a new car for son / daughter then look no further it's a no brainer. If there was one thing so far that have noticed is that the heater is not all that hot even at full, however the heated seats make up for that - I wish my car had all the options this car has! Buy one and enjoy it - my son has now heard that VW are introducing an UP GT, I've seen pics so Mini etc watch out!
