Excellent & reliable

For me this car ticks all the boxes for a town runabout.It seriously mists up when wet and cold - but the aircon dispels this very quickly. For the price - vat free - it is the cheapest fully automatic on the market [ proper fluid flywheel auto not one of these automated manual jobs] . It drives well and accelerates as fast as is needed - probably would not suit a boy racer but more than adequate for town use. The interior is basic but adequate. You need to be careful with the doors as the thickness of paint on the edges leaves somewhat to be desired. I have to say the extras that come with the sZ4 pack are welcome - adjustable steering wheel and seat height adjustment - and the rev counter as the engine is so quiet .Boot is small but just big enough for the shopping.The split folding rear seat is also good for getting 6 foot lengths of wood home inside the car. The fuel economy is nothing special-around 38mpg-but it is the auto version. I've had the car for a year now and have no problems - its excellent. However I must say I have a larger Honda for long journeys.
