A wonderful little car, that we have thoroughly enjoyed owning and driving for over five years and 23,000 miles. All the main mechanical foibles which affect these cars around this age, have been addressed. The car is fantastic to drive; with it’s small-size, low-mass and communicative steering, making any journey a joy.

Any questions, or if you need further details; please let me know.

Kind Regards,

Ed
