Good Points
Great Little car, very nippy, Fantastic stereo for my IPOD
Carbon Quartz colour really sets of the optional extras I had-Alloy wheels, Front Fog lights Roof spoiler , Side Skirts and front splitters. Also rev counter a bonus worth installing
Bad Points
2 months on (1450 miles) has had to be returned to the dealer because of problem starting the car- Have the Multi Mode Gearbox. Await their inspection and rectification.
General Comments
Toyota gave better value when I was looking to purchase. The other two models sharing the same engine/chassis did not have the same build quality in my opinion.
Compared all models from the 3 manufacturers before making my Purchase. only 2 provided the Auto box.
Summing up, feel that I have bought the best small car that had all the features I want.
Auto Box, 3 doors, Low insurance, Ultra cheap Road Tax,Split rear seats,Quality Sound system as standard. Good fuel consumption. 55mpg average based on last fill up of 20 litres.
The Car this has replaced was a 900cc Fiat Seicento so am used to small cars.
