Anything particular to look out for?

Would I be better off with a petrol one?

Thanks.

They are OK if you like that sort of thing.

Just go buy a Mitsubishi Colt. Same car without the gay plastic bits, and half the price.

From what i remember, engine is actually quite good. Comes in 70 and 95 BHP versions, the former chipping up to 95 ish and the latter 120.

So find a 95BHP version, preferably in Passion trim

Plus, having tried both the Colt and the Forfour (then buying one), the Forfour is a much nicer place to sit and feels better made.
