A great little car.Economy good to marvelous. One problem is gear shift. Box far to close between third and first for liking. Like stirring a bowl of porridge trying to find a single gear when from cold start. Otherwise drives very well and responsive fora small hatchback mini. Boot quite handy for shopping if one ignores that lip. The parking is lovely and can be placed on a sixpence to turn. just the crap gear box after driving big luxury cars all my working life it is all I can find to moan over in this great little flying machine. The best thing is the fuel use and the miles between fills seems impossible but true.

Would you recommend the car to a friend?

Yes Green thumbs up
