I really am fancying one of these cars, does anyone have one and can give me pros and cons? How bad is the paint for stonechips?

Do they sound st? id fit a louder exhaust on but do they sound as bad as everyone says?

On the noise front, they aren't particular a bad noise its just there isn't much. It's a 4 pot so it can only sound so good, can easily make it louder.

Get a test drive in one, there is a lot more to it than noise.

4 seats, otherwise it'd be on the 'maybe next car' list (have 3 kids, although eldest has left school so tends to not come with us so much).

Not farty at all, low bassy noise but without much character. Similar to when a vacuum goes over a shag pile rug.
