This stroller is really light and easy to steer. You can buy accessory packs if you want to alter the colour, and the flip down visor is great if you get caught in a quick shower. The adjustable handles are great, as they can be low for me at 5ft 2", or higher for my husband, who is over 6ft. Fit's easily into the boot of many smaller cars (would advise checking your boot dimensions before buying any buggy though).
Maybe a little too light, if you have a small baby and want to hang a little shopping on the handles, as the front can flip, but this happens with all strollers, so don't let this put you off.
We switched to the Maclaren Techno XT - Storm Umbrella Stroller after having problems with a Graco Mosaic Travel System. Straight away it was easy to use, and you can take just about everything off to wash it, which is great when you have a sicky baby. Our baby seems to find it comfy, it is lightweight, very easy to steer and can easily be laid back for a sleeping child. Another bonus is that the rain cover easily clips on to four little nodules. However, if your baby's legs are longer than the adjustable leg rest, you would need to have the leg rest down to have the raincover on, as it's a snug fit. I personally love this buggy for its weight and practicality, as some of the funkier models are a little heavier.
