“Perfect first car, really good on petrol.”

written by skyhigh_emm on 22/02/2013

At first I purely chose this car as it would be my first car and at the age of 19 insurance was never going to be cheap. However, because this car is only a 1.0 litre the insurance wasn't too bad.
Size: I love this car as due to its size it is really easy to get used to on the roads and when parking as it usually fits into a lot of spaces other cars can't. It doesn't look like it really has a boot but when you start to fill it with shopping you will understand it does actually fit a lot in.
Petrol: I still complain about the price of petrol but this car does help me in the sense that I don't have to fill up every 2 seconds as it is really good on fuel consumption. However, it does save more petrol just doing short trips around town as I used to have to travel to work via the motorway and noticed my petrol went down a lot quicker whilst on the motorway but nothing drastic.
Comfort: This car is very comfortable to drive and even when I have passengers in the back they say they are comfortable which I didn't expect as the car doesn't offer a lot of space inside when there are 4 people in.
Recommendations: I would recommend definitely getting this car in a 5 door as the car is already small inside and I can imagine it to be difficult getting in and out of a 3 door.

The only thing I wish I could change is the engine size as it does take a while to get up to speed when on the motorway but that may be just because I'm getting used to driving and would prefer something with a bit more power.
5 star can't fault this car.
