Brilliant first car.
Bought the car in October 2009 a month before i passed my test. A very good first car, spacious for a small car and decent interior.
In terms of performance it is very good for driving around town, however it can struggle on Dual carriageways and motorways, the car will happily do 70mph though and is quite nippy off the line. The only thing i can fault with the car is the way it handles, massive amounts of body roll on roundabouts and bends which cause things to fly off the dashboard etc.
Overall, a decent first car but not very substantial, especially if you drive a lot on long journeys or use motorways a lot.
