General Comments

I wanted a a rag top after being away from them for a year or two. OK the 1995 MX5 i had is still the best, but the model is to old now and i am not keen on the new shape.

Was looking for one when i saw a StreetKA, problem was every one you saw was either silver or THAT blue. Finally found mine in envy green (basically British Racing Green) with cream interior. loved it straight away as different.

Yes i am a guy and No, i do not care what people think about it. it is low on insurance, high on tax but who cares. You smile when you drive it. The woman say cute...i say quirky.

Even with the roof back you do not lose any boot space. It felt a bit odd the first time i turned on the heated seats but you get used to it. The roof mechanism is the best i have ever come across on a manual roof, it puts my MX5 and the Z3 i had to shame. Very easy to use and you are not straining to put it back.

Image.....if image is what you are after as a bloke then buy something else. None of mates have given me stick..the odd comment but do i care? If you are shallow enough not to buy a car because you worry what others think then i suggest you stand back and look at yourself.
